Custom route to electronics enclosures
Specialist contract manufacturer EC Electronics has entered into a partnership deal with Boss Enclosures to distribute its complete range of 19in racks and smaller enclosures.
Custom enclosures enhance performance
Cost-effective custom enclosures, tailored to meet the most diverse and demanding individual applications, can now be supplied by EC Electronics using its K-Box system.
The new operation is a wholly owned subsidiary of EC Electronics UK.
Manufacturing services are fully supported from the UK in terms of sales, procurement/kitting, logistics and administration.
The local line management is Romanian covering production and quality and reports directly to our in situ British Operations Manager.
Phil Simmonds, Managing Director of EC Electronics, comments "Moving a business forward in the competitive world of Contract Electronics Manufacturing remains a continual challenge for SME operations like us".
"This investment is of strategic importance enabling us to meet the demands of our UK and European customers for highly competitive pricing, without massively increasing their risk through outsourcing to the Far East and other remote developing countries".
"We believe the combination of a low cost European manufacturing cell, with full back-up from the facilities and processes available in the UK, provides a platform to maintain and develop strategic relationships with our key customers, whilst ensuring our ability to compete in the market place and fulfil our growth plans for the future".
