AcQ customers are primarily Tier 1 companies, thus adding to their capabilities in satisfying their customers requirements, which are often outside of Tier 1 core-competences.

As Tier 2 supplier, AcQ develops and produces systems such as cockpit displays, control boards, or subsystems which are part of a larger system, as well as the know-how and ability to develop and produce complete systems such as flight data recorders and radio altimeters.

Tier 2 customers, Tier 3 supplier
Sometimes AcQ also acts as a Tier-3 supplier.

For more then twenty-five years AcQ designs, develops and produces (safety critical) embedded hardware and software solutions in the industrial market, whether it concerns a standard product or a customized solution we like to tackle your problem.

Our first step is always a dialogue with our customers to determine the problem. Based on our expertise and knowledge of the most recent market trends, we then formulate the best strategy to solve the problem at hand. Where possible, we apply our standard products.

Your project is in good hands with our experts; from the design and production to the testing and integration of the solution. We produce and supply the hardware for embedded control applications. We develop the accompanying application software. We provide the necessary support and training.

Our specialties:

• Hardware engineering (safety critical)
• Support of real-time operating systems
• Secondment
• Integral solutions

Your advantages:

• One point of contact for an integral solution
