Intertec has extended its ability to produce custom enclosures and shelters for field-based process instrumentation and equipment with a range of economic options for very low volume requirements. The company can now produce application-specific enclosures of almost any shape, size and colour, in volumes as low as 10 for clients in the North American region.

The service exploits the flexible professional resin transfer moulding and vacuum-bagging production processes acquired as part of Intertec's recent purchase of Fibreform. This new design and manufacturing capability is located in Sarnia, and complements Intertec's established portfolio of moulded glass fibre reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosures/cabinets, shelters and accessories currently produced at its Houston, Texas facility, and other locations worldwide.

Intertec's newest manufacturing facility can produce rugged and corrosion-resistant enclosures or field shelters in thicknesses of up to approximately 4 inches/10 cm. An extremely broad range of accessories is available to further configure these housings for specific applications. Intertec's turnkey assembly service, Safe Link, allows it to provide the full instrument system — complete with process transmitter(s) if required — ready for hook-up on site.

The new design and manufacturing service is located in the former premises of Fibreform, which Intertec acquired from Thermon Canada at the end of last year.
