The founder of one of the USA’s largest independent hoist manufacturers, Ace World Companies, is Texan Ace Ghanemi.
Ace’s specialty has become heavy-duty hoists and cranes. With the company’s recent Terminator and Eliminator hoist ranges, the company has standardised production to lower costs for built-up hoists that would need to be custom-designed.
Ghanemi, a professional engineer, started work in 1975 at material handling manufacturer Bowlin Engineering Co. He gained experience in all of the company’s different operations – first in manufacture as an engineer, then product design and customer service as product manager, and then quality control, management and purchasing as plant manager. The broad experience set him up well for managing his own firm, which he set up in 1987.
