What our Clients have To Say…

  • Darrell Gane, Altus

    Delivering components of quality in short lead times throughout the country is critically important. Stu and his team are aware of this and have always been committed to providing the best service and quality they can, often under pressure situations. Problem solving in a timely manner is one of the companies strengths.

  • Robert Piacun, BArch, Grandvue Joinery Ltd

    This artisan workmanship has been possible due to design considerations made in detailed 3D CAD shop drawings and
perfected before manufacture, then used to programme the most modern CNC machinery available.

    I have found Stuart Wilson and his firm to be honest, resourceful, lateral thinkers,
obliging, I have no hesitation in recommending Advanced Engineering Services for any job, time
would allow them to consider.

  • Dave Burggraaf, Product Developer

    AES has been a crucial partner in achieving this outcome through their culture of innovative thinking, best practice manufacturing and great customer service. AES comes highly recommended.
