Great Lakes Case and Cabinet Specialized Design Resources

Great Lakes Case & Cabinet Co., Inc. is known for high quality and custom racks, wall mount and free-standing enclosures. Decades of industry knowledge converge with state-of-the-art manufacturing in its facility in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Great Lakes continuously updates processes and equipment to meet the demands of the metal fabrication industry. Having the resources to design, engineer and manufacture customized product quickly in-house has allowed Great Lakes to offer two unique and valuable services, Rapid Prototyping and Fast Track Design & Production Service. 

Many times a company has a viable product concept but requires a physical manifestation of that concept in order to validate the technology or determine a marketing strategy, in advance of commercial production. The significant investment made by Great Lakes Manufacturing Inc. provides access to some of the most sophisticated laser cutting, metal punching, panel bending, custom welding and powder coating resources in the United States. 

Great Lakes is also home to some of the most experienced metal fabrication and design engineers, material and process technologists and skilled craftsmen who know and understand the limits of raw materials, hardware and various accessories, from metal, wood and laminates, to power supplies and ventilation systems. Great Lakes employs a highly sophisticated manufacturing resources planning (MRP) software system to ensure that rapid prototyping projects are completed in a timely manner without affecting any regular production orders or deadlines. 

Sometimes, for a number of reasons, the standard lead time of six weeks is just not fast enough. Great Lakes Case & Cabinet Co., Inc. has now positioned itself at the forefront of the enclosure and metal fabrication industry by creating the ability to satisfy the unique needs of Accu-Tech customers. 

Great Lakes has introduced the “Fast Track” Design and Production Service, offering the complete design, engineering and manufacturing resources of our Rapid Prototyping Service, a division of the sister company Great Lakes Manufacturing Inc. Without affecting our normal production orders, “Fast Track“ can provide complete, turn-key service, “art-to-part“ in just ten working days! 

We’ll ask you some specific questions to be sure we understand your needs. The Great Lakes engineering team will then design to your exact specifications, the production team will manufacture it, and finally the freight management team will ensure that it is assembled, packaged and shipped within ten working days following your approval of drawings. We’ll provide you with a shipping date and you can rest assured your product will be delivered on-time. It’s just that easy.
