25 years and running¦

We completed 25 years in January 2020, and these years have been full of hard work, struggle, and excitement, which eventually has us feeling satisfied and proud. The team faced all odds and hardships over the years to only become stronger and better. A start-up in 1995, 25 years hence, we have made our mark as Indias No. 1 crane manufacturing company.

We started as a pick-n-carry crane company 25 years back, but over the years, we have evolved into a major construction equipment player in the country. Today, our range includes not only next-gen cranes but also truck cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, loaders, vibratory rollers, graders, forklifts, and agriculture machinery.

The mantra of our success has been the tenacity, hard work, and dedication of our team, coupled with our focus on satisfying customers real needs, along with our ability to offer the right product, at the right price, with the right service support. We also pride ourselves on our committed and honest relationships.

All our products are designed for tough Indian operating conditions and ruggedness is an intrinsic design element. It has always been our endeavour to make dependable and reliable products. In fact, the culture of honesty, reliability, and dependability permeates the culture of our company.

Value for money would define the word cost-effective for us and we have always ensured to provide our customers with value-for-money products so that they are able to increase their productivity and profits by using our machines.

ACE equipment is used throughout the country and to cater to this widespread and to provide effective pre-sales and after-sales service, the company has developed a network of dealers and area offices operating out of 100 locations and supported by 15 area or regional offices based in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Jaipur, Raipur, Bhubaneswar, Lucknow, Indore, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Vizag, and Cochin.

We cover all the aspects related to the operations and safety of the machine.

Innovation at the fore

ACE has always believed in innovation to achieve excellence. The group has introduced new technologies and new models across its product range at a phenomenal pace.

Research and development (R&D) has been one of the key elements in our success story and our in-house R&D centre is duly approved by the Government of India. Over the years, the speedy commercialisation of world-class designs and technologies in our company has been instrumental in making us the largest crane company in India.

All our products are designed in-house, keeping Indian operational and market conditions in mind. The USP of our product is that with appropriate design, we are able to also control the costs to cater to benefit our customers.

Our R&D centre has played a significant role in the growth of our organisation over the last decade. The Covid months have given us an opportunity to focus, for the time being, on the R&D activities which involve the design and development of new products, upgradation of existing products, and VA/VE activities wherever possible. We are spending greatly on our R&D and on enhancing the customer experience and engagement with the product.

This also includes digital empowering of our internal and external operations to create a more efficient organisation.
