Website Details Attached:

 

Company Profile:

 

The Beginning:

Subject was set up in 1979 as a machine tool designing Service Company. The company began its foray into manufacturing of machine tools in 1982 when it was commissioned to make a range of special purpose import substitution machine tools needed by the I. C. Engine valve industry

The Promoters:

 

Three engineers, Mr. A.V. Sathe, Mr. Shrinivas G. Shirgurkar and Mr. B. Machado promoted the company as a partnership.  Together, they pooled into their new venture a total of 35 years of machine tool experience, all of it accumulated at the central manufacturing technology Institute, India's premier center for manufacturing technology & machine tool design. The trio began the venture armed with only their experience, design boards and a few thousand Rupees in a garage

 

The Journey:

 

The first product developed by Ace designers was the Auto Lathe - a multi slide automatic production turning machine, built on the modular concept around the “component to be machined” and supplied as a complete machining solution with custom designed work holding and tooling. This machine became very popular with the auto components and the two-wheeler industry & the industry leader in its class.

Ace started manufacture of CNC Machines in 1986 and their first CNC Chucker LC-16 was adjudged the best-designed machine at the IMTEX 86. “Today, Ace designers are the largest manufacturer of CNC Lathes in India” with a market share of over 40%.” The product range consists of 4-slant bed CNC Lathes, 2 CNC Chuckers, a twin spindle CNC Chucker, Auto Lathes and special turning solutions with automatic load unload systems.

The company is ISO 9001 certified by RW TUV.

 

 

Infrastructure & Facilities:

 

The operations were spread over 4 manufacturing facilities in Peenya Bangalore.  Ace has now acquired an 8-Acre plot and is presently consolidating all of its manufacturing facility in a single location. These facilities include:

·        Modern component production shop with CNC Lathes, Machining Centers, Precision Grinders.

·        Sheet metal plant with CNC bending machines, shearing machines

·        Design facility equipped with CAD infrastructure - Microcadem & Pro E software

·        Precision testing & quality control equipment - Laser interferometer, a Roundness Tester, Surface Tester, Renishaw Ball bar Tester & CMM

·        Detailed documented manufacture testing & assembly procedures

·        State of the art Information technology infrastructure consisting of a company wide LAN, MRP, CRM & Mail

·        Trained work force with emphasis on correct processing rather than on post-production inspection.

·        Ethical Business Practices                                                                           

 

Research & Development:

·      The strong research and development set-up is the backbone of the Company's growth. The existing products are continuously improved with user feedback and new products introduced.

·      The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Ministry of Science and Technology granted in-house R&D unit recognition since 1992.

·      It’s a matter of pride that Ace does not rely on any technical collaborator and all product development is internal

·        The core competence of the company is in converting design concepts into working products quickly & cost effectively

 

Exports & Overseas Operations:

 

As a result of continuous expansion, Ace has kept looking for new markets; it began its export foray in the eighties with exports of Auto Lathes with automatic load/unload systems for the bearing Industry. A large number of these machines are in use and regularly exported to Brazil, Egypt, Germany, Spain, UK & USA

  • Ace designers has set up a wholly owned subsidiary ACE INTERNATIONAL, INC. in Michigan USA to establish a foot hold in the competitive US markets.
  • Ace has about two hundred CNC Lathes working with international customers in Italy Australia, France, and USA.
  • Ace exports machines & have an established distributor network in Italy, France, and Australia.
  • Efforts are on way to set up a distributor network in Germany, Benelux, UK & Spain
