Enclosures refers to the manufacturing of cabinets that is intended to hold electrical components.
An enclosure is a box that protects certain electrical components. Usually an enclosure has displays, knobs, switches inside. It is also common to punch holes in the box for ventilation and cables.
The manufacturing process normally includes punching, press brake work and surface finishing. Sometimes also assembling of the electrical equipment is also included in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing of enclosures is normally done in sheet metal workshops.
Post project to suppliers with Enclosures capabilities
Quotes are sought for the attached enclosure, which is to be fabricated from 1.5mm & 3mm thick aluminium alloy, to be supplied with a RAL 9003 finish. The client is looking to collaborate with a supplier who is able to produce these parts to a high standard of quality; in return, there will be repeat orders available moving forward. This item will be used within a medical/scientific application, with prices required for 10 and 20 off at this time. The buyer's £10,000 annual fabrication spend indicates that there may also be additional work available once a relationship has been established.
Spending over £50,000 a year on bespoke fabricated parts, this company is a manufacturer and distributor of electronic parts. They currently require a fast turnaround on the two attached enclosure designs, with 200 off of each needed as soon as possible.

Suppliers who can lend accuracy and a high level of precision to the attached frame parts are sought, on behalf of a company that works within the offshore industry. These are new designs and the client would like to allocate manufacture for both the initial order and the ongoing production runs that follow. The parts in question are to be fabricated and welded from stainless steel and as the buyer spends an impressive £300,000 a year on subcontract fabrication services, there could be scope for additional projects to run alongside this enquiry. The buyer has also confirmed that should other processes be deemed more suitable to make these frames, they will be happy to discuss alternative suggestions.
