ACL is an owner-managed, medium-sized company that has been developing and producing PC, monitor and wall solutions for medical applications, such as intensive care units and operating rooms, in Germany since 1997. As a supplier of computer and visualization technology, ACL is in addition a preferred partner for medical technology manufacturers in the OEM sector. ACL products are certified according to the requirements for use in the hygienically critical areas around the patient.
True to the slogan »Always a step ahead«, the focus of the internationally fast-growing company is on innovative and intelligent IT solutions with which it is setting trends in medicine. ACL products stand for maximum reliability with outstanding quality, ergonomics and investment security.
The medical technology manufacturer sells its products in over 40 countries worldwide and supplies almost all university hospitals and hospital chains in Germany. In addition, the company provides customized PC and monitor solutions to numerous famous medical equipment manufacturers as part of OEM and ODM projects. ACL has its own sales and service office in Hong Kong as well as a newly established office in New York for expansion into North America.
The ACL product portfolio under the brands OR-PC®, OR-MD® and OR-CONSOLE® stands for the quality seal »Made in Germany«. All production steps are performed by more than 70 employees at the headquarters in Leipzig (Germany). It starts with the production of the robust all-aluminum housings in the company’s own CNC milling center. This is followed by the cutting and printing of various protective glass panels, PCAP touchscreen lamination and optical bonding in the company’s own clean room under ESD conditions. Due to a very high degree of vertical integration and an own development department in the area of design and electronics, individually configured single devices and small quantities can be manufactured as well as large projects can also be realized.
ACL’s reasons for becoming a member of the GHA are very diverse. “The focus was on knowledge transfer, sharing experiences and networking with other members, and joining forces to form an advocacy group in the healthcare industry that is well known beyond the borders of Germany,” explains Thomas Wollesky, CEO.
For Maik Kränkel, VP Sales & Marketing, the exchange of experience and the development of networks in the course of international expansion are most important: “The GHA offers ACL an excellent platform to establish cooperation’s for our ambitious international goals and to benefit from the experience of other members. The support provided by the GHA for international trade fair appearances is a further plus point for us. With a view to an even more intensive exchange and dialog, we are already looking forward towards the next possible events again soon“.
