Due to major technological advances in sheet metal design and fabrication over the years it is possible to efficiently produce small as well as large batch custom size ATEX enclosures, due to the advances in parametric design software and short setup time machinery. The new model would simply fabricate your custom size ATEX enclosure on demand to your exact specification at a lead-time that suits you.
Imagine no longer having to compromise your design by being forced to use standard ‘off the shelf enclosure sizes’ and operationally the pain of machining those entries into the stainless steel enclosures using expensive traditional machining methods. This is all removed, just send your completed custom enclosure design to your supplier and have it manufactured on-demand.
indEx Enclosures (UK) are pioneering this new approach to ATEX and industrial enclosure supply. This privately owned company have setup a manufacturing base in the UK bringing together the latest metal fabrication technology and design software, enabling them to offer custom ATEX enclosures on demand without the usual cost and lead-time drawbacks. indEx have taken this to such an extreme that they no longer distinguish between standard or custom sized enclosures.
Over the last year indEx has won business from 100 new customers and the feedback has been very positive. In fact indEx is now the sole supplier of standard and custom enclosures for many customers. Mass customisation is the way forward for enclosure supply.
