Manufacturing Capabilities:
In 1997 Acme became certified in the Demand Flow Technology (DFT), in doing so, the cycle time for manufacturing a transformer has been reduced to 2-3 days. This flexible process allows Acme the ability to provide standard and custom product with the responsiveness required from a manufacturer in today's just in time environment.
The Lumberton, North Carolina facility serves as one of Acme's primary manufacturing locations. It manufactures both air-cooled and encapsulated transformers covering the full range of Acme's offering in standard and custom designs. This facility also has 30,000 sq. ft of warehouse space that serves as a distribution center.
Opened in 1999, the Monterrey Mexico plant manufactures smaller KVA and industrial control transformers that are sold throughout the entire Acme Electric customer base. This modern facility located at Monterrey Industrial Park serves as the central distribution center for the Mexican and Latin American marketplace. This warehouse provides Acme a local, customer responsive logistics model for immediate shipment of products.
Custom/OEM Product Capabilities:
In addition to the full line of standard product offerings, Acme is positioned to supply special products to meet specific customer requirements. With an OEM oriented end user customer base, an experienced Design Engineering Department utilizes software dedicated to core and coil electrical design, combined with new state of the art parametric technology mechanical design software. With these design tools, Acme provides customers with rapid turnaround of designs and prototypes of custom products.
