Ace Opens in Clinton, TN



Relocation to Clinton is expected to result in a doubling of Ace's workforce.

The new site features high-capacity overhead cranes, a 280' girder table and automated gantry welder.

Electric overhead traveling (EOT) crane and wire rope hoist manufacturer Ace World Companies has opened its third facility. The new facility is located in in Clinton, TN.

Headquartered in Fort Worth, TX, Ace is a specialist in the design and manufacturing of lifting solutions for some of North America's most demanding applications. Its equipment is installed in steel mills, power plants, ship-building and aerospace facilities and more.

The Fort Worth site, which opened two years after the formation of the company (1987), is approx. 80,000 sq. ft. and serves as a manufacturing facility for its engineered wire rope hoists, trolleys, bridge cranes and end trucks. Ace opened a 49,000 sq. ft. location in Knoxville, TN, to expand overhead crane manufacturing capacity. However, this operation has now moved 30 minutes up the road to the 180,000 sq. ft. Clinton factory to facilitate manufacturing of larger cranes and increase annual production. The company also has a dedicated panel shop in Pewaukee, in Waukesha County, WI.

Kevin Beavers, Executive Vice President at Ace, who will oversee production in Clinton, said: "We will primarily be focused on the fabrication of the bridge and the full assembly of the overhead cranes, including completion of the factory acceptance test with the customer before shipment. It will not change what happens in Fort Worth."

Relocation to Clinton is expected to result in a doubling of the company's workforce. Currently, 50 people work in Fort Worth, eight at the satellite facility in Pewaukee and 13 have made the transition to Clinton from Knoxville. Steel mills and the aerospace sector will be the primary drivers of business in the immediate term, although Ace remains active in a variety of heavy-duty marketplaces.
