ACE Winches - CEO StatementACE Winches was born out of first-hand experience gained offshore and the strong work ethic of the North East of Scotland. Over the last 25 years we have developed the skills and capabilities to partner with the world’s top tier contractors and operators to safely deliver engineering excellence at the highest level.
This has only been made possible by the commitment and determination of our people. Shared core values, continuous focus on quality, support for innovation and a respect for the customer define our teams and I am immensely proud of them.
The ACE Winches of today has a broad product and service offering and very much a global market outlook. We have delivered more than 2,500 projects working in more than 50 countries spanning 7 continents and we view this as a good start.
We are ambitious for the future. In 2017 the highly respected Balmoral Group made a strategic decision to invest in and become a partner with ACE Winches. This is a major statement to the Marine and Offshore Market and a great endorsement for our business and what it can achieve going forward.
Our character ensures we don’t take anything for granted, and we know it will take a lot of hard work to achieve our goals. However, we remain committed and up for the challenge.
Thank you for taking an interest in ACE Winches, we look forward to working with you.
