Services
Sheet Metal Fabrication
We provide precision sheet metal fabrication for industrial OEMs using laser cutting, welding, and forming equipment. Our capabilities include complex weldments and custom enclosures meeting NEMA/UL standards. With in-house engineering support, we optimize designs for manufacturability while maintaining tight tolerances. Our Wisconsin facility handles small-to-medium production runs with average order sizes of 50 parts.
Powder-Coating Finishing
Our in-house powder-coating and finishing services feature a six-stage pretreatment system and dual powder rooms. This eliminates third-party delays while ensuring accurate color matching and coverage. The process enhances product durability through electrostatic application and thermal curing, meeting industrial performance requirements for corrosion resistance and surface finish quality.
Electro-Mechanical Assembly
We offer complete electro-mechanical assembly services including cable harnesses, wiring panels, and enclosure integration. Our team manages component procurement and supply chain logistics to streamline production. Value-added services reduce field assembly time through pre-wired panels and organized component kitting, improving overall manufacturing efficiency for clients.
Design Engineering
Our engineering team specializes in design for manufacturing (DFM) to optimize part geometry, material selection, and production methods. We develop manufacturing concepts that reduce costs, shorten lead times, and improve assembly efficiency. Computer-aided design (CAD) tools ensure dimensional accuracy and compliance with functional requirements before production begins.
Medical Cart Manufacturing
We design and fabricate custom medical carts for cardiology, endoscopy, and medication management applications. Our ISO 13485-certified processes ensure compliance with medical device industry standards. The carts feature modular designs for specialized equipment integration, with powder-coated finishes meeting healthcare environment durability requirements.
