Box Builds

Turnkey box build assembly solutions, guaranteed to work out of the box

Volex is a leading integrated manufacturing specialist for box builds. Whatever the application, Volex can provide a fast and affordable turnkey solution from integration to final assembly. Volex factories can support low complexity, high volume assemblies through large scale system integrations with 1,000s of components and sub-assemblies.

Volex box builds are available in a wide range of housings, from plastic to sheet or cast metal. Sometimes known as “systems integration”, the box build process involves enclosure fabrication, installation of subassembly parts and components, routing of cabling or wire harnesses, and the complete assembly of the finished product. Thanks to cellular and linear manufacturing capabilities, with highly configurable workstations and assembly, Volex can handle one-off orders of 5 to 10 pieces, up to thousands of units per month. All are extensively tested for integration and function to guarantee they work right out of the box.
