Our Custom Generator Enclosure Services

From prototype to high-volume production, we deliver precision-engineered plastic generator enclosures tailored to your specifications.

Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming

We produce durable custom generator enclosures using vacuum and heavy-gauge thermoforming with eight machines up to 5'x9'. Materials include ABS, HDPE, PETG, and UV-resistant ASA/ABS for outdoor protection.

Plastic Fabrication

Our fabrication department delivers finished enclosure components with precision CNC trimming, drilling, heat bending, bonding, and fastener installation—ready for assembly straight off the production floor.

Mold Making & Tooling

We design and build custom molds from wood, polyurethane, or aluminum tooling. Low-cost prototype tooling allows fast design validation before committing to full production runs.

CNC Trimming & Cutting

Using two 5'x10' CNC trimming centers and SolidWorks CAD integration, we deliver dimensionally accurate enclosure panels with clean edges, contour cuts, and repeatable production quality.

Prototyping

Rapidly produce enclosure prototypes using low-cost wood or polyurethane tooling. Master patterns are CNC-milled to print specs, allowing design review and functional testing in just a few weeks.

High Volume Production

Our 4'x7' rotary thermoforming machine runs 2.5x faster than standard equipment, enabling cost-effective, large-volume generator enclosure production with rigorous quality control at every stage.
