Services
Custom control panel manufacturing requires precision, speed, and absolute adherence to quality standards. Since 1979, Panel-Fab has provided turnkey panel fabrication and specialized finishing services for mission-critical operations, including data centers, food and beverage processing, logistics, and defense.
Operating day and night shifts across six Cincinnati facilities, our team keeps high-volume orders moving on schedule without compromising technical integrity. As a family-run business, every project undergoes strict quality oversight to ensure complete compliance with engineering specifications.
Enclosure Cutting: Steinhauer Machine
Automated enclosure modification eliminates manual layout errors and significantly accelerates production turnaround. Panel-Fab utilizes in-house Steinhauer automated CNC modification machinery to perform precision enclosure cutting, drilling, and tapping directly from CAD layouts.
By integrating automated cutting directly into our Cincinnati facilities, we bypass third-party modification queues, reduce material waste, and streamline throughput for both single prototype builds and high-volume production runs. Modified enclosures move directly from CNC processing to panel assembly without requiring secondary freight transitions.
Because the Steinhauer machine operates in-house, we control the enclosure cutting schedule instead of waiting in a subcontractor’s queue. That control matters most when a data center, warehouse, or automotive client needs enclosures modified fast to hit an installation date. Our enclosure cutting work pairs directly with our panel building and electrical control panel services, so a cut enclosure moves straight into assembly without a second shipment.

Learn More
Engraving adds the labels, warnings, and identification marks that keep a finished panel compliant and easy to service in the field. Our multi-axis rotary engraving systems cut permanent text, logos, schematic diagrams, barcodes, and serial numbers into diverse metallic and polymer substrates. These systems can process flat, curved, and cylindrical parts with precision cuts ranging from 0.0625 inches (1.6 mm) to 0.250 inches (6.4 mm) deep. This durable component identification ensures long-term compliance and simplifies field servicing in harsh operating environments.
Key engraving specifications and capabilities include:
Workpiece sizes
Ranging from 0.25” x 0.25” (6 mm x 6 mm) up to 50” x 25” (127 cm x 63.5 cm).
Depth tolerances
Precision cut depths from 0.0625”(1.6 mm) to 0.250” (6.4 mm) with integrated bevel finishing.
Compatible materials
Aluminum, brass, stainless steel, steel alloys, ABS, and polycarbonate.
Custom tooling
In-house tooling capabilities driven directly from client CAD files.
Painting
Electrical panel painting is often the last step before a control panel ships, and it is where coating quality can affect how a product holds up on the plant floor for years. Our in-house electrical panel painting service applies protective coatings, matches client color schemes, and gives enclosures and components a professional finish before they leave our Cincinnati facilities.
Electrical panel painting matters as much for durability as it does for appearance. A panel destined for a food and beverage production line or a warehouse automation system faces washdowns, dust, and temperature swings. The right coating keeps corrosion and wear from shortening its service life. We handle electrical panel painting alongside our engraving and enclosure cutting work, so your panel arrives painted, labeled, and ready to install without a separate trip to an outside finisher.

Point A to Point B Wiring Harnesses
Point A to Point B wiring harnesses connect components across a control panel or between a panel and remote equipment, and they cut down on wiring errors during final assembly. We build Point A to Point B wiring harnesses to match your schematic. Our team bundles and routes conductors so installers connect one end to the other without guesswork.
A well-built Point A to Point B wiring harness reduces assembly time and lowers the odds of a miswired connection reaching your site. We size and route these harnesses for logistics, material handling, and automotive applications where equipment gets moved, retrofitted, or expanded, and a labeled harness makes future service work faster for your team.
Learn MoreField Kit Hardware
Learn MorePre-packaged field kit hardware streamlines job-site installation, reducing field labor hours and preventing assembly downtime. Panel-Fab consolidates all mounting hardware, custom structural components, and documentation into organized, project-specific installation kits.
Comprehensive field hardware packages can be configured to include:
Fastener assemblies
Pre-sorted nuts, bolts, washers, and specialized installation hardware.
Custom mounting brackets
In-house fabricated brackets tailored to specific equipment geometries.
As-built documentation
Detailed AutoCAD drawings matching the exact physical layout of the supplied components.
Building field kit hardware around your project means your installation crew opens one box and has every part on hand instead of chasing down missing pieces mid-job. We assemble field kit hardware for data center, warehouse, and automotive projects where a delayed part on-site can hold up an entire schedule.
