front panels in every instrument
Enclosure: We make the enclosure too: sheet-metal parts with riveted inserts on the module rails, lacquered to match the panels

— FAQ

Questions makers ask us.

What do you need from me to quote?

A sketch or drawing with dimensions, the quantity and the finish you have in mind. A photo of a panel you like helps too.

Is there a minimum quantity?

No. We start with a single prototype made exactly like the series version, and produce runs from a handful of pieces to a few hundred.

What finishes are possible?

Powder coating in the colour of your choice, with printed legends, scales and logos on the finished surface.

Do you make the electronics too?

No. We make the parts people see and touch: panels, module panels and enclosures. The electronics stay with you.

Do you ship outside the EU?

Yes. Most of our work goes abroad. Shipping and any import costs are agreed for each order.
