OEM control panels for UK equipment manufacturers
Fixed BOMs, one standard platform for your range, and reliable UK production at 5 to 200 panels a month.
Fixed price per platform · agreed per programme
5 to 200 panels a month
Scalable UK production with call-off stock.
Fixed BOM
Consistent cost, simple procurement, easy spares.
Design support
Controls engineering and PLC/HMI programming in house.
Full documentation
Wiring diagram, test certificate and serial number with every panel.
If you make equipment that needs a control panel, we become your panel department. We map your range, design one standard platform that covers 80 to 90% of variants with clear option blocks, fix the bill of materials, and build it in volume with documented QA and serial number traceability. You get consistent cost, simpler procurement and spares, and panels that arrive when we said.
We listen
We map your equipment range, its options and the environments it goes into, so one standard platform covers most of what you sell without hundreds of specials.
We design
A standardised control platform with a fixed BOM and clear option blocks. Design support is included: we bring what we know about controls to cut on-site failures and cost. PLC and HMI programming in house.
We build
Repeatable production with documented QA, serial number traceability and compliance to the standards your equipment needs. Every panel ships with its own wiring diagram and test certificate. Capacity from 5 to 200 panels a month, with stock held against call-off where that helps you.
Who we build for
Pump manufacturers and packagers, booster set builders, water treatment and rainwater harvesting equipment, chillers and packaged plant, generator and fuel systems, hire fleet equipment and industrial machinery. Come and see the factory in Stoke-on-Trent.

Temporary cooling hire company
A dual chiller changeover panel, drawn once and built again and again for a hire fleet
A national cooling hire company sends chillers out in pairs, and every pair needs a changeover panel to share the load, rotate duty and take over when one trips. We took their existing panel design, re-engineered it, drew it as indoor and outdoor standards and now build it whenever their depots need more.

Cooling hire company, for a chemical manufacturer
A process cooling panel for a chemical plant, proven at a two-day factory acceptance test
A cooling hire company were supplying a process cooling system to a specialist chemical manufacturer in the South of England: a chiller, an air-blast fluid cooler, process and recirculation pumps and a weir tank. We designed, built and programmed the control panel, and the customer and their client watched it run through a two-day factory acceptance test in Stoke-on-Trent before it left.

Process cooling specialist, West Midlands
Pump skid panels for a process cooling specialist, from a one-off to a repeat
A West Midlands process cooling company build pump skids to go with their chillers. We built them a twin-inverter panel with duty changeover and a chiller interlock, then a simpler single-inverter panel designed to be ordered again. They now reorder it by its drawing number.

Inverters no longer break the bank!
There are many electric motor applications where an inverter (or variable speed drive/VSD) is better than fixed speed/direct on line, with price as the only drawback. Traditionally inverters have been too expensive for many uses, but as technology advances the price of inverters continues to fall w
