The Evolution of Ceramic Engineering at ACE

At Advanced Ceramic Engineering (ACE) Ltd, we take pride in our over 40 years of experience in the production and design of precision and technical ceramics. Our company, based in Northern Ireland, has evolved from the former Wade/Seagoe Ceramics plant and has become a leading provider of alumina components in the UK.

ACE is specialized in the production of high-grade and purity alumina ceramics, also known as precision or technical ceramics. These materials are widely used in various industries such as electronics, aerospace, chemical processing, and high-tech applications like vacuum and semiconductor, pump and valve, lasers and medical, and chemical and wear-resistant components.

Our range of alumina components has been carefully developed to meet the diverse service conditions required by our clients. We understand the importance of precision and reliability in these industries, which is why we put extra effort into ensuring the quality of our products. Our team of experts works closely with our clients to custom-manufacture components that meet their specific requirements and surpass their expectations.

The legacy of ACE can be traced back to the former Wade/Seagoe Ceramics plant in Craigavon, Northern Ireland. When the plant closed down in 2002, most of our employees, including our founders, were former Seagoe employees with over 40 years of experience in the field of ceramic engineering. This gave us a strong foundation of expertise and knowledge that we carry forward to this day.

Our production process is similar to that of Seagoe, starting from raw milled alumina and going through isostatic pressing, green machining, sintering, and diamond grinding. However, we also invest in the latest innovations and technologies to continuously improve and strengthen our production line. This combination of tried and trusted methods with modern advancements has made ACE a standout company in the field of precision and technical ceramics.

What sets ACE apart from other ceramic engineering companies is our experienced workforce. Our employees are the backbone of our company, and their dedication and expertise have been instrumental in our success. Most of our employees have been with us for decades and are considered masters in the field of ceramic engineering. We pride ourselves in creating a work environment that fosters growth, rewards excellence, and promotes professionalism.

At ACE, we are passionate about our work and committed to delivering top-quality products to our clients. Our evolution from the former Wade/Seagoe Ceramics plant to a cutting-edge company in the field of ceramic engineering is a testament to our dedication and hard work
