ACS UK, having recently opened its order book, is actively reconnecting with OEMs
and airlines to expand its offerable portfolio. This renewed collaboration will give
customers access to more solutions and reinforce ACS UK’s position as a trusted
provider of airline interiors.
As part of this strategy, last month ACS UK welcomed Airbus to its new world-class
engineering facility in Bournemouth UK, which is home to its project management
and commercial teams. The £500,000 site is designed to foster innovation and
support ACS UK’s plan to increase the number of platforms on which it is offerable,
creating opportunities to secure more tier-one contracts.
In the same period, ACS UK hosted Boeing at its Cambridge manufacturing site,
where much of the testing and certification for its interiors solutions takes place. The
facility is undergoing major upgrades to deliver state-of-the art capabilities that will
strengthen ACS UK’s global reach. Boeing saw the investment first-hand and
discussed opportunities to expand offerability.
Nigel McSorley, CEO of ACS UK, said: “We were delighted to welcome Boeing
and Airbus to our facilities and explore opportunities to expand our offerable
portfolio. By increasing offerability directly with aircraft manufacturers, we can help
streamline installation, making the fit-out process faster, simpler, and more cost-effective for our airline customers.
“Our team has significant expertise in the design, engineering and manufacture of
aircraft interiors. While we’ve been focused on delivering the programmes acquired
from AIM Altitude, I’m excited that we can now broaden our offerability with products
that deliver real differentiation for airlines.”
ACS UK offers full aircraft interiors capabilities, including bars and social areas, front
row monuments, branding panels, stowages, and galleys. The team has also been
engaging directly with airlines through one-to-one workshops to showcase its
innovative cabin concepts designed to elevate the passenger and crew experience.
ACS UK has already trebled its targets for the year, with some large contract awards
through Airbus and Boeing. With additional investment in its facilities, the team has
the experience, craftsmanship and capacity to grow even further. Expanding
offerability is a key step in ACS UK’s growth ambitions.
