Enclosures cut, punched, bent, welded, and assembled to your requirements. NEMA 1 through 4X. Carbon steel, 304 and 316 stainless, aluminum. Built-to-print from drawings or built-to-spec from functional requirements. Single pieces welcome, no minimum order.
We cut, punch, bend, and weld enclosures from raw material or modify existing ones. The work happens in a real fabrication shop, not through a catalog drop-ship. When you need a 24x24x12 NEMA 4X stainless box with a specific cutout pattern and DIN rail layout on the back panel, we build that. When a standard catalog enclosure is close but not right, we can modify the stock box or start from scratch depending on what makes more sense.
Built-to-print means you have a drawing. We build to it. Built-to-spec means you give us the functional requirements, dimensions, NEMA rating, and material, and we determine the construction approach. Both work. If you have a sketch or even a rough hand drawing with dimensions, that's a starting point.
No minimum order for single-piece custom work. If you need one enclosure for a field application, that's a job we'll quote. Production runs get priced accordingly.
These are the specific types of work we do. Some jobs touch multiple categories.
Full enclosures fabricated from sheet stock. We cut the blank, punch cutouts, form the bends, and weld the seams. Hardware including hinges, latches, and lift-off doors are sourced and installed. Paint or powder coat as required. This is for jobs where a stock catalog box doesn't meet the dimensional or rating requirement.
Punched and drilled back panels to your layout. DIN rail attachment holes, wireway mounting holes, transformer mounting provisions, and ground lug positions. We can work from a customer-supplied layout or help develop one from your component BOM. Material is typically 11 or 14 gauge steel depending on the load requirements.
Components installed to customer-supplied BOM and wiring diagram. This is not a UL 508A listed panel shop, so if your project requires a listed panel, that needs to be part of the conversation upfront. For applications where listing isn't required, we install breakers, contactors, relays, terminals, and wiring per the provided documentation.
Cutting additional knockouts, adding mounting bosses, welding gussets, adding conduit hubs, enlarging openings, or repairing damaged enclosures. If you have an existing box that needs modification, send us photos and a description of what's needed before shipping it to us for a quote on the work.
NEMA rating determines the construction requirements for sealing, corrosion resistance, and environmental protection. Specifying the correct rating for the installation environment upfront avoids having to re-fabricate or upgrade later.
316 stainless is the standard material for food-grade, offshore, and aggressive chemical environments. 304 handles most outdoor and washdown applications at lower cost. Carbon steel with paint or powder coat works for indoor applications where moisture ingress isn't a concern.
If you're unsure which NEMA rating applies to your installation, describe the environment and we'll help you determine the right starting point.
| NEMA Type | Description |
|---|---|
| NEMA 1 | General purpose indoor. Protects against dust and light indirect contact. Most common for panels in electrical rooms and machinery spaces. |
| NEMA 3R | Outdoor rated. Protects against rain, sleet, and snow. Standard for equipment mounted on exterior walls and utility pads. |
| NEMA 4 | Watertight. Protects against hose-directed water. Appropriate for washdown environments and exposed outdoor locations. |
| NEMA 4X | Watertight and corrosion resistant. Same ingress protection as Type 4 with additional corrosion resistance. Standard for food processing, chemical, and coastal applications. Usually stainless or fiberglass. |
| NEMA 12 | Industrial use. Protects against dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. Common in manufacturing and machine tool environments. |
The more complete the information, the faster we can price it. For standard boxes, basic dimensions and NEMA rating are enough to get a ballpark. For anything with specific cutout patterns, installed components, or special material requirements, a drawing or detailed spec will save rounds of back-and-forth.
Drawings can be in any common format: DXF, PDF, hand sketches photographed with your phone. We've quoted from napkin sketches before. Accuracy of the final product depends on the accuracy of the input, but we'll flag anything that looks off before we cut.
Use the quote form or email us directly. Attach drawings or sketches if you have them. We'll confirm the details and get a price back to you.
