Background and circumstances giving rise to the administration KAS and AACWL were both involved in the automotive industry, with principal customers being Ford and JLR.

KAS operated from leasehold premises in Chelmarsh, Coventry and machined automotive engine parts. It received certain parts from AACWL in order to satisfy product requirements.

It was developed with a view to satisfying the growth in customer demand.
