CUSTOM TO YOUR NEEDS

Pieper Automation is where your one-of-a-kind custom control panel can benefit from experience gained over decades of building custom control panels by tens of hundreds for some of the biggest names in industry.

Our expertise extends across the disciplines of both control panel engineering and manufacturing. Pieper Automation has designed and built specialized custom control panels that range in complexity from single-hole, push-button stations to large multi-bay control panel cabinets and enclosures.

A custom control panel is a specific-built solution, individually engineered and made to order. Maybe it’s a unique one-off, such as a shipping container customized as a Motor Control Center or maybe it’s a control panel for a hazardous location. No matter, Pieper Automation’s flexible, cell-based fabrication and assembly processes allow us to easily accommodate your one-of-a-kind project without the high overhead expense associated with traditional panel builder manufacturing.

The adaptability of our Lean Manufacturing approach creates efficiencies and savings we pass along to our customers.

We are also qualified to build & self-certify for UL and many other major standards, saving you the time and trouble of third-party certification.
