Founded in 2006, the business speedily built a reputation for creating contemporary seating that is robust, lightweight and easily maintainable whilst offering exceptional passenger comfort and living space. A fresh approach to problem-solving and short lead times cemented our reputation as a stand-out player in the global marketplace.

The acquisition of Acro, in 2017, by the specialist seating manufacturer Tiancheng Controls (itself part of the giant Zhejiang Science and Technology Investment Company) provided a platform for further international growth and recognition, adding impetus to the Acro determination to ‘Be the preferred global provider of aircraft seating’.

Reflecting our global reach, Acro currently has Customer Support Operations in China, Singapore and the USA, as well as the UK.

Since 2017 Acro has been an Airbus approved linefit supplier and our strong, collaborative relationship continues to grow.

Acro also has considerable experience supporting Boeing customers including seating programmes on B737, B757 and B767 aircraft types.

We have a highly successful strategic partnership with Saab and close, productive associations with Fokker and ATR Aircraft. We regularly demonstrate our willingness, and capacity, to take on both lower and higher volume programmes and to collaborate with Original Equipment Manufacturers to develop bespoke seating for their unique airframes.

For all of us at Acro, strategic partnerships are key to innovation and growth. Our global supply chain is built not only on proven technological and production capacity, but also on shared ethos and ethical behaviours. Forging such partnerships secures a supply chain which is totally aligned to Acro’s current demand and future needs, and which enables the company to respond to customer requirements with alacrity and agility.

That focus on establishing and nurturing effective, mutually beneficial partnerships is equally evidenced in our close customer relationships, each of which is underpinned by exceptional creative collaboration.
