Company Overview

British Columbia-based ACR Systems Inc. is one of the worlds leaders in design and manufacturing of compact, self-powered data loggers. These precision electronic instruments (and related software) are used in a variety of industries to measure and record a broad range of parameters, including temperature, relative humidity, electric current, pressure, process signals, pulse frequency, power quality, and more. Principal markets are building systems management (HVAC), process control, food and beverage transportation and safety, and electrical industries. Many other industries also have found uses for ACR data loggers. Whatever the application, ACR data loggers are an indispensable tool for performance measurement and analysis, audit and verification, liability management, system profiling, and process optimization.

ACR has one of the broadest product lines in the industry, coupled with a reputation as a leader in the datalogging industry. Our strengths include:

Our Industry Leadership. ACR data loggers are reknowned for being the premiere measuring and recording instrument of its kind, and has been recognized by the Canada Award for Business Excellence. ACR was selected for the 2000 T-Net 100, an elite grouping of the 100 top technology companies in British Columbia.

Our Innovation. ACR was the pioneer of the industry, and continues to develop new products that set the standard to which our competitors aspire. For example, many of the data loggers operate for ten years on a single battery, an innovation yet unmatched in the industry. As well, we have control of our intellectual property, thus assuring our long term position at the front of the industry.

Our Customer Support Is Unsurpassed. We offer the longest product warranties in the industry, we offer 1-800 customer support across North America, and extensive after-sales advisory support and services.

Our Far-reaching Distribution Network. Currently we have over 130 distribution points in over 40 countries. Because the US is our most important export market, we maintain a US sales office in California.

Our Commitment To Quality. Our ISO9001 registration is supported by a strong quality management system. Our products ship defect-free due to our extensive in-house testing program. ACR has been the winner of the Electronics Manufacturers Association Award for Engineering Excellence.

Our Service Delivery. We have a 24 hour order fulfillment and shipping policy, which far exceeds the more typical 4-6 week order fulfillment offered by our competitors. To do so we rely on an ERP that covers all aspects of our operation, including supply chain management, production planning, and inventory management systems. In 2002 we will be moving to b-to-b e-business with our distribution network.

Our Strong Team Of Employees. We have a highly qualified team of engineers and technicians, production and marketing professionals. Even though we are a private company, we have an advisory board that includes external business advisors who help guide the company.

Our Community Service. ACR has been recognized in the local community as the recipient of the Surrey Business Excellence Award. ACR also supports the Aboriginal community and business development through such venues as the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation.
