During BGF’s investment, the business increased sales by around 20%, launched two new series of economy seats and won a contract with Airbus, extending its reach to newly built aircraft. Acro received the Queen’s Award for International Trade in 2015.

In 2017, Acro was acquired by Zhejiang Science and Technology Investment Company to help to accelerate Acro’s access to the Chinese market.

We have very much enjoyed working with BGF since their investment. They have been a supportive partner and helped us to scale up our team and infrastructure, placing us in a strong position for future growth.
