About ACE

Equipment and engineering,
built around your process.

From standalone equipment to integrated processing lines, ACE helps nut and food processors improve efficiency, product quality and plant performance, with engineering coordination and long-term support, not one-time equipment sales. Coordinated from our St. Louis office and supported across North America.

Our story

ACE Food Systems was founded to give North American nut and food processors direct access to proven, food-grade processing equipment, and the engineering to put it to work.

For years, growers and processors across the United States, Canada and Mexico faced the same gap: reliable, well-built processing machinery existed, but bringing it home meant navigating international sourcing, freight, installation and support on their own. ACE was built to close that gap. From our office in St. Louis, Missouri, we bridge established equipment manufacturing with local engineering, installation, commissioning and after-sales service.

Today ACE supplies everything from a single cracker or dryer to complete, turnkey processing lines, coordinated by one team of engineers, field-service technicians and project managers. Our approach has stayed the same since day one: practical equipment, complete processing solutions, and a long-term partnership, not one-time equipment sales.
