Control Panel Fabrication Operations

Brock Solutions operates one of the largest CSA-Certified & UL-Listed panel fabrication operations in North America. Highlights include:

Panel manufacturing facilities in both Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, and Irving, Texas, US

  • 50,000+ square feet of capacity
  • Designed for both highly customized and high volume repetitive manufacturing requirements
  • Full-scale manufacturing of “Engineered-to-Order” pre-wired and pre-tested Packaged Control Rooms (PCRs)
  • Wide range of power sources and test loads to support full load and factory acceptance testing
  • Machine shop for custom fabricated assemblies and busbar systems
  • Material handling equipment capable of manipulating small devices, to complete packaged control rooms, all tracked by our in-house reporting and ERP system
  • Flexible manufacturing—allows for panel fabrication from either location, or both locations simultaneously
  • WBE (Women’s Business Enterprise) Certified

What makes us different is that in peak times we can balance the manufacturing loads between the two facilities so that we can ensure a fast turnaround time for panel orders regardless of the size.
