At ACL, we're always looking for ways to strengthen the support we provide to our customers and remain at the forefront of UK manufacturing. That's why we're delighted to announce that we have become members of both the North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) and Make UK.
These memberships represent another important milestone in our ongoing commitment to delivering world-class electronics manufacturing solutions to highly regulated industries, including aerospace and defence.

With over 35 years of experience in contract electronics manufacturing, ACL has built a reputation for delivering high-quality PCB assembly, box build, cable assemblies and full manufacturing solutions to customers operating in demanding sectors where quality, traceability and reliability are critical.

Joining the North West Aerospace Alliance allows us to become part of one of the UK's most respected aerospace and defence networks. The organisation brings together manufacturers, suppliers, technology specialists and innovators to help strengthen the regional supply chain, encourage collaboration and support industry growth.

As demand continues to increase across the aerospace and defence sectors, being part of this network provides valuable opportunities to share knowledge, develop partnerships and remain aligned with emerging technologies, standards and customer requirements.

Championing UK Manufacturing

Alongside our NWAA membership, we're equally proud to have joined Make UK, the organisation representing manufacturers across the UK.

Make UK plays a vital role in supporting British industry through policy advocacy, manufacturing best practice, workforce development and innovation. Membership provides access to industry insights, training opportunities and a network of manufacturers committed to driving excellence across the sector.

For ACL, it's another way of ensuring we continue to evolve our capabilities while supporting the long-term success of our customers.

What This Means for Our Customers

These memberships are more than industry affiliations - they reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement and long-term partnership.

By actively engaging with leading manufacturing organisations, we can:

  • Stay informed on evolving aerospace, defence and manufacturing standards.
  • Build stronger relationships across the UK supply chain.
  • Share knowledge and adopt industry best practices.
  • Continue investing in quality, innovation and operational excellence.
  • Deliver even greater value to customers operating in highly regulated markets.

As a UK-based electronics manufacturing partner, we understand that today's customers need more than production capacity. They need a responsive partner with technical expertise, proven quality systems and the ability to adapt to changing market demands.

Looking Ahead

Joining NWAA and Make UK marks another positive step in ACL's growth journey.

As we continue to invest in our people, processes and manufacturing capabilities, we're excited to collaborate with fellow members, contribute to the future of UK manufacturing and further strengthen our support for customers across aerospace, defence and other high-reliability industries.

We look forward to building new relationships, sharing expertise and helping shape the future of British manufacturing together.

If you're looking for a trusted UK electronics manufacturing partner for your next project, we'd love to hear from you.
