ACI Industries: Strategic growth in 2025

Looking ahead to 2025, ACI Industries is set to become the driving force behind expanding the Hayes brand beyond its core of performance systems, brakes, bicycles, and powersports into a broader range of components and system assemblies. Our strategic plan includes entering new markets and adding new sectors including more general industries.

Accelerated production and reliable partnerships

ACI Industries is uniquely positioned to achieve faster growth with shorter selling cycles compared to traditional Hayes Power Group products. We are committed to maintaining strong, reliable partnerships and ensuring consistent access to quality materials and components for our OEM customers.

Expanding expertise and talent

As ACI continues to grow, we are focused on recruiting and developing top-tier Designers, Engineers, Machinists, and other specialists to lead innovation and excellence in precision CNC machining. Our talented team ensures that every product we deliver exceeds industry standards for performance and reliability.

Enhanced quoting process

To improve customer experience, ACI Industries plans to revamp our quoting process with the integration of a dedicated estimator and advanced quoting software. This will allow us to achieve a two-day turnaround time for accurate, detailed quotes, helping customers bring products to market faster.
