Question Q for someone in/near Chatham

Is ACE (Advanced Controls & Engineering) still around? Their website seems to have expired, and google brings up nothing else....

Hey Chad. I live in Chatham, but I think that ACE closed up shop quite a while back.

Any idea what happened to them, Jeff? They were a decent sized company... Glad I didn't accept that job offer 2 years ago, although I wasn't to keen on moving any way.

Hey Chad.... I know that they were located in the old Siemens building, but like I said ... they've closed up as far as I know. No idea why. I'll take a drive out that way and see what's there now, just incase they've only changed names.
Was there something specific that you're looking for ? Maybe I can be of some help ...

Jeff

I had been in their facility several times. I designed some machinery for them that they built and I got to watch it run - now it's in a Lear plant in the US somewhere... I was just curious why they shut down - maybe the automotive slowdown hit them hard, or a business deal gone sour or something... that's all.

they've been closed for about a year now. Most of the equipment was auctioned off and whatever was left was picked up by recyclers. The area they occupied is now being rented by a seed company.

Hey Stoogefan, I'm in Blenheim. We should hook up for a cold one!

Sounds like a great idea, not that ya need a great idea to have a cold one ... hehe. My sister-in-law lives in Blenheim, so we're out there quite often.
