Manufacturing since 1996, we work as a contract manufacturer: your design intent, control logic and intellectual property stay with you, while we provide dependable external manufacturing capacity, a controlled quality system and full traceability — turning your specification into a tested, ready-to-install panel across single units or repeated batches.
What is an electrical control panel?
An electrical control panel is an enclosure that houses the switchgear, controllers and wiring used to operate and protect electrical equipment. It takes in the main power supply, distributes power to connected electrical loads, and uses control devices to switch, monitor and protect machinery. In practice, a well designed control panel centralises the components that run a process or machine — allowing it to operate safely, be monitored and be maintained — from a single pump control panel to a large motor control centre feeding an entire production line. Electrical control panels sit at the heart of industrial automation and control systems, connecting field devices and sensors to the control logic, which translates input signals into the output signals that drive motors, valves and other electrical devices.
Electrical control panels built to your specification
Every electrical control panel we manufacture is built exactly to the required wiring standard, part numbers, panel layout and documentation you provide — with clarification and technical review offered where information is incomplete or conflicting. We do not impose a fixed product range; we build to your documentation, from compact distribution boxes and LV/ELV control enclosures to large multi-section control panels integrated into wider automation systems. Our manufacture covers a wide range of electrical assemblies, including power distribution and machine-control panels, multi-circuit industrial panels, motor control and overload protection assemblies, instrumentation and automation support panels, and safety and interlock panels.
Types of electrical control panels we manufacture
Key components and component selection
Depending on the control applications, our panels house the various components your control system relies on: programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and dedicated controllers; human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for local operation and advanced monitoring; circuit breakers, fuses and isolation for electrical safety and protection; contactors, relays, motor starters and variable frequency drives; power distribution blocks, terminal blocks and control circuits; and the sensors and transducers that handle digital input and analogue signals.
We build with branded components — Siemens, Schneider Electric, Allen-Bradley and Omron among them — selected for performance, availability and lifecycle support, and sourced through approved and franchised OEM distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability. Correct component selection also means sizing assemblies to safely handle the prospective fault current (short-circuit current rating) of the installation, so protection and insulation coordinate correctly.
A disciplined panel layout keeps the finished panel safe, serviceable and easy to fault-find — typically incoming power and protection at the top, control and automation in the middle, and field wiring and terminals at the bottom.
Standards and compliance in electrical control panel manufacture
Support for CE / UKCA testing and a Declaration of Conformity can be arranged where required. Compliance with the relevant regional and international standards ensures electrical safety, correct insulation and seamless system integration.
Our controlled manufacturing workflow
1. Specification review and clarification
All supplied drawings, BOMs, I/O schedules, standards and wiring notes are checked at the start, and any ambiguity, conflict or missing detail is raised immediately to prevent errors later in the build.
2. Component procurement
Parts sourced through approved and franchised OEM distributors for authenticity and traceability, with suitable alternatives submitted for approval where supply issues exist.
3. Assembly and wiring
Precision build with:
4. Testing and verification
Every panel undergoes:
FAT checks wiring and communication before shipment.
5. Documentation and traceability
Delivered assemblies include:
All documentation reflects the final manufactured state of the panel, supporting future maintenance and troubleshooting.
This controlled workflow ensures identical results across single builds and repeat production runs.
Enclosures and operating environment
The right enclosure protects the panel in service. We build into wall-mount, free-standing and operator-interface enclosures selected for the operating environment, with the appropriate IP rating (or NEMA type), corrosion resistance and thermal management. Densely packed components generate heat, so cooling, filtration or heat exchangers are specified where required to prevent overheating and maintain reliable performance.
Industries we serve
We manufacture electrical control panels for OEMs, machine builders, panel builders, system integrators and industrial manufacturers across many sectors — including manufacturing and automation, building services and HVAC, water and wastewater, marine and offshore, energy and utilities, and medical and scientific. The same standard of controlled manufacture, testing and documentation applies whether you need a single unit or a repeat production run.
