Company Type: Electronics Development Sent by: Operations and Development Manager Subject: Congratulations on delivery of the XXX project and appreciation for your great team! (ATEX) Length of Service: 14 Years

Adrian,

Delivery of 70 XXX units this week is a major achievement.

This was a project that proved to be a challenge from the start, and ACL have worked tirelessly to resolve the many issues that have arisen.

This has taken major effort over a prolonged period, which was never the original plan, but you saw it to the end.

Delivery would not have been possible without your fantastically skilled and committed team.

This is a good example of why we choose ACL as a partner and why I would not hesitate to recommend your business to others.

Thank you for hosting XXXXXXX and my engineers in your office. Please can you convey my gratitude and appreciation to everyone in your team for delivering the project.

BTW, think that the product and its quality look totally awesome!

Many thanks,

Both XXXXXX and I left with a very favorable impression of your facilities, procedures and most importantly people. Having discussed further, I am delighted to say that we wish to transition all of our PCB business that we currently use XXXXXXXXXX for your way. The first job will be this 600 off (+ some spares) XXXX-XX board to the tweaked design. We also would like you to test the boards – something which we have not trusted a subcontractor to do previously.

Many thanks

Afternoon Andrew,

Thanks for the alternative suggestion, really appreciated.

I've liaised with our Electronics Engineer, and he has suggested another alternative of MAX6010AEUR+T which can be got from Mouser MAX6010AEUR+T Maxim Integrated | Mouser United Kingdom. This is our preferred option.

We will get some of the alternatives to trial on the two boards we have kept. The BOM will also be up issued and sent over accordingly.

Good idea to perform a test on the outputs on this particular board.

I will send a counterpart PCB and power leads. This will be the easiest way for you to perform the output tests. I will follow up with some basic instructions on this.

Thank for your help with this product.

Drum roll please….

Please follow the link below to download the most up-to-date data pack for XX-XX-XXXX-D & XX-XX-XXXX-D – Porsche Console Illumination.

This project has been re-developed to accommodate the ATSAMV70N19B-AABT main processor. I can inform you that bf1systems has a dedicated stock of processors for this project.

I believe the RFQ remains the same as the previously designed revision C part.

As we have had to redevelop this product, please can I impress upon you that we are very much behind the customers time schedule now so anything that can be done to not cause further delays would be great.

However, knowing you all at ACL I am already confident that you are already doing your best to deliver in this component crisis.

Many thanks from me for all your hard work. I appreciate it’s not an easy task right now.

As normal if you have any issues or queries then please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.

As always very much appreciated,

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the analysis of our previous manufactured boards.

As they are all round the edge on the device it might be possible to get them re-soldered.

I have approached the manufacturer for comment. The new board that replaces this one will be thicker. This was supposed to be 1mm thick but got reduced in order to meet 50R impedances in the RF paths.

I will be revisiting the microstrip design.

I have placed orders with ACL going forward.

Thank you for repairing the boards from previous supplier, we will collect these with first shipment of assembled ACL boards.

Hi Lee & Andrew,

Knowing how much you guys love a fun challenge I think you will like this email. I’ve totally told everyone here at XXX XXXXXXX that this is the reason you both get up in the morning. I said that when it comes to gold standards their acronym is simply ACL. The only company I know about that has a track record of total success and a zero-tolerance attitude to failure

I have been working on a new design that is needed urgently. The design is call XX-XX-XXXX.

The design is largely a copy and paste of circuits already used by us and produced ACL. So with fingers crossed I am hoping that this will mean the components are all available.

Many thanks as always

Their background knowledge of the intruder and fire alarm industry made them the ideal manufacturer for our unique products such as the Checkmate radio--linked test meter, Vidicheck CCTV test meter and award-winning GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester.

Company Type: Manufacture of Process Instrumentation & Engineered Solutions Sent by: Purchasing Manager Subject: RE: Feedback Length of Service: 23 Years

Our Company is a global supplier of process instrumentation, engineered solutions and added value services. Our Manchester production facilities decided to outsource our PCB assembly capabilities and sought a company who could offer a full service from initial component procurement through to assembly, test, and varnish of a range of PCB assemblies used in a variety of process environments, both hazardous and safe.

After careful consideration, ACL were selected to undertake this work and have grown to become one of our prime suppliers, constantly striving to improve on quality of product and service.

ACL have had considerable input into improvements in the supply and scheduling of materials and services, resulting in our implementation of ‘just-in-time' weekly delivery arrangements. This ensures that supplies of PCB assemblies are readily available in sufficient quantities to meet our production requirements, whilst avoiding over-stock situations or stock-outs. This arrangement is a result of our confidence in ACL's ability to supply a product built to the highest standard as and when required.

As our relationship has developed over the years, we have expanded our scope of supply to include associated electro-mechanical assemblies, again built to the same quality that we have come to expect from ACL.

This obviously depends on moving forward to final contract with Nissan which should happen in the very near future and I look forward to a strong supplier 'partnership' that will benefit both XXXX and ACL.

XXXX have been impressed by ACL's commitment, quality standards and the understanding your company has of manufacturing for the motor industry. The key factors in the award of this key piece of business is a combination of Quality and flexibility.

What I would also point out is that it is very likely that the number of XB21 units over the 10 year contract with Nissan will grow considerably from the 25000 baseline and that there will be other design/build contracts to work on together.

Over the past 2 years, xxxx xxxxxx, and more notably I, have built up a very good and professional relationship with Andrew and ACL.

As I manage the supply chain from PCB supplier to end user, it is crucial that I can rely on a good team & quality manager to deliver our expectations and ACL & Andrew always has.

Andrew is very friendly, always happy to help with any query I have, and nothing is too much trouble for him. If we have had a quality issue, the problem has been dealt with speedily, professionally and has always had a satisfactory positive result.

I have been able to rely on Andrew to be available, on hand and offer his vast experience whenever called upon and I look forward to working with ACL & Andrew for many years to come.
