Sheet metal decides three things in a data center that no amount of good electronics can rescue: whether cabinets line up and seal, whether air goes where it was designed to go, and whether emissions stay inside the enclosure. We build the rack systems, network enclosures, power cabinets and containment parts that carry that job.

Why choose us

Built for buyers who audit their supply chain

Four things that decide whether a metal enclosure project lands on time and on budget.

Tolerances we can hold

±0.1 mm on laser-cut features and ±0.3 mm on formed parts, verified before dispatch.

Quality you can audit

ISO 9001 processes, first-article inspection and a measurement report with every series batch.

One supplier, five processes

Cutting, bending, welding, coating and mechanical assembly under one roof — no hand-offs between vendors.

Built for export

Export-grade packing, customs documentation and container loading planned for Europe and North America.

Equipment we build for data center infrastructure

Data center hardware is judged on three things that sheet metal directly controls: whether cabinets line up and seal, whether the airflow goes where it was designed to go, and whether the enclosure keeps emissions in. None of the three is solved by the electronics inside. We build rack systems, network enclosures, power distribution cabinets and containment parts — and we build them in batches, so the tenth cabinet matches the first.

Typical equipment

  • Server and network racks — 19 in and ETSI frames, plinths and levelling arrangements, baying hardware supplied loose or fitted
  • Power distribution cabinets and PDU housings — busbar clearance, ventilation cut-outs, gland plates
  • Airflow and containment parts — blanking panels, brush and grommet cable entries, hot and cold aisle panels
  • Wall and floor enclosures for network and edge equipment, sealed against the room rather than the weather
  • Rack-mount shelves, brackets and 1U–4U sub-racks

What actually decides whether it works

Four requirements that come up on almost every data center programme.

EMI containment

A cabinet is the first barrier between equipment and the emissions of the equipment beside it. We build shielded cabinets and verify attenuation to 30 dB rather than assuming that steel is enough — seams, apertures and door gaskets are where containment is lost.

Rack alignment and flatness

Baying racks sit on the same floor and have to line up to a common datum. Squareness and flatness at the plinth are held to drawing, so a row of cabinets goes in without shimming each one on site.

Airflow discipline

Cooling capacity is designed around specific openings and blanking. Cut-outs, brush strips and blanking panels are made to the airflow schedule, and the apertures are cut to the drawing rather than opened up on the bench.

Batch consistency

An installation is built from many identical cabinets, so the second one has to match the first. Repeat programmes run from a retained standard with the fixture and programme archived against the part number.

Camfil

Dry Dust Collector & Fume Extractor Housing for Camfil

Vertical collector housings with conical dust hoppers and support frames for Camfil (Sweden). Fully welded gas-tight construction with machined sealing flanges. Highlights: gas-tight welding, anti-bridging hopper forming, machined flange faces, outdoor-grade coating.

Electric power system cabinets manufactured for TRUMPF | MetlTek
TRUMPF

IP66 Sealed Control Cabinet for Trumpf Laser Machine

Laser machine control cabinet and sealed top housing (sheet metal structure only) for Trumpf (Germany). Sealing is continuous across the top joint so the IP66 rating carries across the whole cabinet. Highlights: IP66 sealing, sealed top transition, oil-resistant industrial coating.

AP TECH

Semiconductor Test Equipment Frame with Precision Gap Control | AP TECH

Split upper and lower equipment frames with a machined mounting plate between them for AP TECH (Korea). The 6.5 m gantry mills the mounting face in one setup and assembly gaps are held uniformly. Highlights: gantry-machined mounting face, granite plate fitting, assembly gap control, rigid vibration-damped frame.

VANDERLANDE

Airport Baggage Conveyor Frames for Vanderlande

Sectioned conveyor frames, support structures, side guarding and drive housings (sheet metal structure only) for Vanderlande (Netherlands). 8 m rail-mounted robot welding keeps long sections straight and interfaces interchangeable. Highlights: long-section robot welding, interchangeable section interfaces, outdoor salt-spray coating.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

There is no fixed MOQ. Prototypes and small batches from one piece are accepted, and unit prices fall as volume grows. One-off tooling cost is quoted separately.

Can you work from our drawings and keep them confidential?

Yes. We regularly work under NDA and produce strictly to customer drawings. Files stay on an internal server and are never shared with third parties.

How long does production take after the sample is approved?

A first-article sample is typically ready in 7–10 working days, and series production runs in 3–5 weeks depending on quantity and surface finish.
