For Whom Do We Supply Profile Enclosure Solutions?
Whether innovative start-ups or well-established companies, anyone who needs aluminium extruded profiles or extruded plastic profiles for their electronics depends on reliable professional support. The focus is not only on the design of the enclosures – important details such as service life, hygienic properties, ease of assembly, and a reasonable price all have a strong impact on the final product and its success in the market.
We support our customers throughout the entire process – from the initial idea to the serial production of your end product, including assembly and shipping. Simply consult our product specialist for detailed, expert advice on your ideas. We bring our expertise in precisely where it makes sense and is needed for your project.
Mastering the Challenges
The shape and appearance of an extruded profile enclosure in aluminium or plastic is determined by the precise interaction of the die and core. Therefore, when developing an extruded profile, it is crucial not only to consider the practical benefits and the design of the final product, but also to address the process and its challenges from the outset to guarantee high product quality and an efficient process.
The first step is selecting a suitable alloy or plastic. Additionally, the design of the enclosure should avoid cavities, large flat surfaces, and narrow, deep openings. Uniform wall thicknesses, as well as auxiliary webs for complex cross-sections, ensure stability. Neglecting these factors may diminish product quality and the service life of the mould, while time-consuming rework increases costs.
Our specialists are ready to support you with their expertise, so you can focus on your core competencies. Contact us!

Services and Process Flow
We Deliver Custom-designed Enclosures from Concept to Final Assembly
Concept
In the concept phase, we work with you to define the requirements for your enclosure. These include functions, budget, cost-effectiveness, area of application and installation space. We discuss with you what we can do for you and which work steps you want to take over. Experience has shown that a holistic approach to design, manufacturing and assembly reduces overall production costs.
Product Design
An appealing design makes up the emotional value of a product. We pay attention to manufacturability and cost-effectiveness for volume production as early as the enclosure design phase. It makes sense to get involved with product design while the electronics are still being developed.
Engineering
Our engineers develop your enclosure according to your requirements and create the technical drawings and 3D CAD models. You have already started with the design and development? No problem. We support you in every way. Because with 40 years of experience in enclosure engineering, we know how to efficiently develop enclosure solutions for series production.
Rapid Prototyping
Whether illustrative models, prototypes for functional testing, pilot series or exclusive small series for field tests ‒ depending on the purpose, surface finish, accuracy, quantity and material, we select the appropriate 3D printing process and produce your 3D prototype. Fast, cost-effective, tailored to your needs.
Tool Making
Tooling determines the shape and quality of enclosures. With over 40 years of expertise in enclosure manufacturing and global tooling sourcing within the Phoenix Mecano Group, we can always guarantee the required tooling quality at reasonable prices.
Series production
We can use the Phoenix Mecano Group's cost-effective production facilities for the production of enclosures. Variant production, finishing and assembly are then carried out in Switzerland. In this way, we are able to guarantee you high flexibility in order quantities and short delivery times. The "One Piece Flow" in our production reduces stock quantities to a minimum and allows us to manufacture individual product variants at short notice.
Procurement of electronics and components
As a supplier of fully assembled devices and assemblies, we are also happy to take care of the procurement of electronics and components to be assembled. This ensures a simple, smooth procurement process and relieves your resources.
Assembly and functional testing
Our services are not limited to the production and delivery of housings. We can do more for you: If you wish, we can also take care of the assembly of the complete device, including function tests and packaging. Whether integration of membrane keypad, display or touch screen, installation of PCBs or electronics - on our LEAN assembly workstations we assemble both small and large series efficiently and "just-in-time" in one-piece flow.
Packaging and logistics
We support you in the complete storage and logistics process. Starting with the concept, through the design, to the procurement of the packaging. We focus on your requirements - whether mass packaging or final packaging with instruction leaflet, power supply and cable. The shipping can be handled with your papers directly to your customers worldwide.
