Bespoke AV Connection Panels
We design and manufacture made-to-order AV connection panels for floor boxes, wall mounts, and 19" rack systems. Using AutoCAD software, we create precise layouts that clients approve before production. Panels are supplied fully engraved with connectors, ensuring seamless installation for audio-visual infrastructure projects.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Our in-house facilities handle cutting, punching, bending, and welding of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. This enables complete control over component quality, from initial fabrication through surface treatments like powder-coating or wet spraying to match specific colour requirements.
