Our History from Startup to Now

The inspiration to start ACS Industrial? Complete frustration!

For 20+ years while designing, building and installing industrial, welding, and electronic automation systems Arnie Breidenbaugh kept thinking that it just shouldn't be so darn hard to get good industrial electronic repairs. Eventually, he said "Enough! I can't take it anymore", and, together with his partner and wife Ellen, they launched ACS Industrial Services to solve their own and others’ electronic repair needs. And to do it better than anyone else ever had. Truly helpful and respectful customer service would be, and is, the all-important heart and soul of the business.

Because Arnie spent so many years working in the industrial manufacturing world, his experience gave ACS customers comfort knowing that we "get it" ... that the voice on the other end of the line truly understands what you’re up against — the cost of downtime, the budget, the schedule you need to meet on time. We know the business on both sides and we know first-hand what it means to get good, reliable electronic repair services.

This successful teaming allowed us to really grow. By 2010, ACS acquired a highly regarded repair center in Hickory, North Carolina, expanding our capabilities and capacity to meet our customer’s needs.

In 2017 Arnie passed away and Ellen took over the helm as President of ACS bringing an even greater focus on ACS’ service-oriented culture, on attracting and retaining excellent talent who align with the company's strong values of trust and customer support. In 2018 ACS became a WBENC-certified Woman Owned Small Business and completed a major overhaul of their website. In 2019 Ellen graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program uniquely prepared to lead ACS into the future of electronics, automation, and industrial electronic repairs with continual investments in capabilities and technology.
