ABOUT

Hi, I'm Dennis – mechanical engineer, trained cabinetmaker, drummer, and problem-solver.

ACD Unlimited designs and builds custom drum hardware for musicians who value thoughtful design, precision, and long-term reliability.

Before focusing on this path, I worked in the semiconductor industry, developing custom machinery for wafer production with a strong emphasis on CAD, prototyping, and high-precision aluminium parts for cleanroom environments.

That experience still shapes how things are approached today — with a focus on function, clarity, and technical quality.

Over time, what started as a one-man workshop has slowly grown into a small, focused setup supported by a handful of trusted people who help with assembly, development, and day-to-day operations.

Even with that growth, the core idea remains the same:

Most of the work still happens locally and under direct control. Design, machining, and finishing are either handled in-house or in close collaboration with trusted partners in the region.

No mass production, no overseas outsourcing.

The goal has always been to keep things traceable, understandable, and consistent — from the first sketch to the final part. Not as a marketing statement, but as a practical approach to building products that can be relied on. It’s about doing work we can stand behind and knowing exactly how and why each part is the way it is.

Outside the workshop, I spend a lot of time outdoors with my wife and our two dogs, hiking, snowboarding, or simply getting some fresh air. I’m also an avid motorcyclist and enjoy spending time on the racetrack, exploring the technical side of things. These experiences help clear the mind and often feed back into the work.

If you’re after something built with purpose, not just made to sell, feel free to reach out.
