The setting up of a USA subsidiary is a landmark event for Air Control Industries. This major step in the company's development follows several years of successful operation in the USA, with representation handled by specialist distributors.
The new company, ACI Inc, has not been set up to replace existing distributors, but rather to complement their activities by providing a faster, more efficient service; products can now be supplied directly from stock held in the USA, including fully-assembled equipment that was previously shipped in component form. This accelerated service for products and spares also applies to local advice and assistance.
ACI Inc will be selling directly to customers but not in competition with distributors. The intention is to achieve mutual growth and benefit.
Matthew Forknall, ACI's Marketing Director, says: "ACI Inc has been set up in order to further develop our penetration into the US markets. Through enhanced support for our distributors and direct representation, we believe this can be achieved, building upon our already established customer base that includes many global companies."
