Letter from the Founder
At ACMS, I started with a straightforward vision — to give companies a single, accountable point of responsibility for their capital projects. I took a leap to bring this vision to life. Initially serving the refining and steel manufacturing sectors southeast of Chicago, our success quickly led to broader opportunities. The positive response from our customers fueled our growth.
As we expanded, we attracted skilled engineers, constructors, and tradespeople. We developed extensive safety systems, inspection protocols, and efficient processes, which set us apart in the industry. This growth prompted our rebranding to ACMS Group, Inc., where we are committed to delivering top-notch consulting and design services with an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction.
Today, ACMS Group, Inc. provides experience and talent to the manufacturing and construction industries as a leader in construction management and QA/QC services. We specialize in independent project management and safety solutions tailored to each industrial environment.
Our extensive experience spans the steel, refining, power generation, natural gas, chemical, automotive, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries across the U.S. We’re excited to take on your most challenging projects by partnering with our support and expertise. Let’s achieve great results, together.
Thank you,
James J. DePaoli President,
ACMS Group, Inc.
