ACW is purchasing more than £35 million of electronics components and mechanical parts per year. This is real purchasing power - and it's available to all our customers. We pass on the benefits of lower prices and the best service.

ACW has purchasing teams in the UK, Hong Kong and China. These, coupled with ACW's purchasing partner in the US, provides access to the best pricing available around the globe to ensure that our customers can be competitive.

These ACW employs advanced materials management techniques. We deploy two managed teams - one for supplier negotiation and the other for progressing and internal logistics.

We utilise maximum MRP streamlining. Purchase Orders are automatically and electronically communicated to suppliers as soon as a works order is verified. This cuts purchasing lead time down from days to minutes.

ACW has long experience in procuring PCBs, semiconductors, FPGAs, memory, ASICs, passives, metalwork, plastics and sub-contract services. Lead times are reduced again.

Massive forward buying of low cost items reduces supply problems yet further. We commit to our customers' forecasts.
