ACS Industries, Inc.

Founded in 1939, ACS started as American Copper Sponge. After seven years of selling knitted copper sponges, ACS engineers knitted our first mesh grease and air filter. The company saw fast growth in the knitted mesh industry up to 1960, and American Copper Sponge was reimagined as ACS Industries, Inc. Since then, we have expanded our capabilities to produce parts for automotive exhaust, safety restraint systems, and vibration-dampening technologies. We have become the largest vertically integrated wire mesh manufacturer, and as a result, ACS is a global supplier of airbag inflation filters. Additionally, we serve as a leading supplier to the foodservice and janitorial industries, with cleaning products including hand pads, metal scrubbers, sponges, floor pads, mops and accessories. We provide competitive prices and minimal lead times, and our quality control standards have made us the premier choice for some of the biggest companies in the world. With headquarters in Rhode Island, USA, and production facilities in China, Mexico, Romania and the USA, along with regional offices across the globe, ACS is truly multinational.
