ConRo Announces Acquisition of Aerospace Chemical Supplies Ltd (ACS)

ConRo is pleased to announce the acquisition of Aerospace Chemical Supplies Ltd (ACS), strengthening its capability to support customers across aviation, aerospace, MRO, and OEM environments, as well as other high-reliability industries.

This development brings together two established businesses that are very much aligned in their customer-centric, solutions-driven approach, delivering a broader, more resilient, and better-supported supply solution—combining technical expertise, increased scale, and enhanced infrastructure.

ACS customers will continue to receive the same service, from the same team, now supported by additional stock, systems, and infrastructure.

Supporting Customers Through Scale and Investment

Conor Ash, Managing Director of ConRo, commented:

“ACS is a highly respected business within the industry, and it’s impressive what Mark and the team have built over the years. Their ethos, customer focus, and reputation strongly align with our own, making this a natural fit.

By combining our strengths, we are increasing availability, improving access to key materials, and enhancing the supply chain solutions we provide. Importantly, customers will continue to work with the people and service they know, now supported by greater stock, stronger systems, and expanded capabilities.

Our focus is on delivering a stronger, more capable partner—one that supports customers with speed, reliability, and technical expertise.”

Mark Crisp, Director of Aerospace Chemical Supplies Ltd (ACS), commented:

“ConRo is a business that closely reflects the values we’ve built at ACS—customer focus, responsiveness, and technical support. This was an important factor for us.

By joining forces, we’re able to offer our customers greater access to stock, stronger support across key manufacturers, and enhanced systems, while continuing to deliver the same level of service and expertise they expect.”
