Custom hardware OEM designs fulfil customer demands

It is a truism of hardware design that often a standard offering is unsuitable, and a custom design is required where the application warrants. To meet these needs, EMKA offers modifications to its standard portfolio or completely original designs. These custom products become an 'OEM standard' in production-run quantities. These may involve materials and/or sealing changes with design adaptations for usage requirements such as access or leverage needs, e.g. for gloved hands, high load/leverage necessities and specific sealing or ventilation specifications.

Andrew Clutterbuck, MD at EMKA UK, explains that: "EMKA are one of very few companies who can offer this service entirely in-house, with our own proven quality oversight – so that customers are thus able to benefit from complete production expertise from one source."

Due to their wide range of services, the company's engineers can meet individual customer needs, from development to the series production of a design. This includes control standards according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and a continuous improvement process guaranteeing a very high-quality level. Highly qualified, long-standing employees deliver comprehensive know-how from their established cultural collateral derived from many years of experience in this field of manufacturing. This covers the machine building and automotive, electrical and telecommunications industries and the HVAC sector in global markets as diverse as Europe, Asia and the US.

The custom manufacturing team can call on a wide range of processes, including Plastic injection moulding, Zinc and Aluminium die casting, and stainless steel precision casting with surface treatments including electrolytic polishing, rough, mirror polished, brushed, galvanized and coated surfaces. Punching, bending and metal working are part of the offering, as are extruding in EPDM, NBR, PVC and TPE. Otherwise, the team can offer Machining and Post-processing/CNC, Aluminium forging, Friction welding, Seal foaming, plus assembly work on individual parts and complex assemblies up to finishing and assembly.
