Electrix International, renowned for its leadership in the market for over four decades, is the world's premier manufacturer and supplier of stainless steel electrical enclosures and cabling infrastructure.
Comprehensive Product Range
The company's comprehensive product range encompasses
stainless steel electrical enclosures, raceway, conduit, wireway and wire basket tray, each tailored to meet the stringent requirements of industries including food, pharmaceutical, brewing, dairy, soft drinks, chemical and offshore. Some of the notable clients in its portfolio include Anheuser-Busch, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Mars, Kellogg's (also known as Kellanova), Pfizer, Henkel, Shell, AstraZeneca, and more. Inherent in all of the offerings are patented features, remarkable aesthetics, and a competitive pricing structure, providing considerable value for businesses emphasizing clean, durable, and corrosion-resistant solutions.
Facilitating its operational prowess, Electrix houses its entire product line in state-of-the-art, computer-controlled storage facilities. It dispatches hundreds of orders from these facilities daily, effortlessly meeting demand surges and enabling its clients to adhere to their stringent timelines.
“Our family business, over the years, has become a huge player in the worldwide enclosure market, whilst continuing to offer customers unrivalled customer service, product quality and competitive pricing. Our efficiency meets vast demands swiftly,” says Chris Thompson, Operations Director.

The firm adeptly addresses various challenges typically faced by its clients. In an industry filled with mild steel and painted products, Electrix exclusively focuses on stainless steel manufacturing. Unlike competitors who share equipment for mild steel and stainless steel, the firm’s factory is dedicated solely to stainless steel, preventing contamination that often plagues products made in mixed use facilities.
Among other challenges is the paramount need for product availability. In this regard, the firm maintains extensive inventory levels for products to meet the industry's pressing demands. Recognizing the urgency for prompt access to stock, particularly in scenarios limited by site accessibility, security protocols, or intermittent on-site opportunities, Electrix prioritizes swift dispatches. This agility aligns with its customers’ needs, often requiring availability within a few days.
In addition, Electrix offers customers a streamlined purchasing journey that is similar to mainstream online platforms. Their website offers industry-leading features to ensure the customers’ journey is as smooth as possible. Shipments directly arrive at the client’s doorstep without the encumbrance of customs, duties, or intricate declarations.
"As a business, our focus remains on constantly envisioning the next stage of growth. We invest a significant amount of time exploring new products that both help solve our customers' problems and keep us ahead of the game. This is driven by a deep understanding of market demands and our commitment to meet them," says Stewart Beer, Site Manager at Electrix International.
Stainless Steel Electrical Enclosures
When it comes to stainless steel electrical enclosures, Electrix’ design team has developed ranges that not only possess unrivalled aesthetics but also offer exceptional finish, groundbreaking functionalities, strict compliance with the latest standards, and competitive prices.
Our family business, over the years, has become a huge player in the worldwide enclosure market, whilst continuing to offer customers unrivalled customer service, product quality and competitive pricing. Our efficiency meets vast demands swiftly.
Electrix offers multiple choices, with its electrical enclosures being available in 304 – V2A – 1.4301 and 316L – V4A – 1.4404 stainless steel variants. Beyond their straightforward installation, these enclosures have impressive features, including IP69K / IP66 / IP65 ratings, cULus listing, NSF certification, as well as long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance.
A standout addition to Electrix' enclosure lineup is the WASHDOWNPRO range — an innovation designed exclusively for industries adhering to stringent cleaning protocols. This avant-garde range redefines utility, setting a new benchmark for excellence. Incorporating features like removable stand-off mounting pillars, the WASHDOWNPRO enclosures facilitate effortless cleaning and washdown procedures. Offering multiple configurations such as terminal and control, junction box, motor disconnect with or without optional viewing windows, and push button installations, Electrix ensures adaptability while easing on-site operations, saving valuable time and resources.
Electrix recognizes the diversity in installation requirements and caters to individual preferences through multiple cover and roof designs for the WASHDOWNPRO enclosures. Whether selecting a recessed or slimline cover or deliberating between a 15° sloped top or a traditional flat top design, clients can tailor their choices to match their specific operational demands.
Client-First Solutions
At Electrix, client engagement begins at different junctures depending on their unique requirements. For some, it starts with a well-defined vision, such as a specific enclosure size or desired features. The Electrix team rapidly aligns with their specifications, offering targeted recommendations and steering clients towards the optimal solution.
As well as offering a huge variety of Stainless Steel Electrical Enclosures, Electrix are the world’s leading manufacturer and stockist of Stainless Steel Wire Basket Cable Tray Systems, Stainless Steel Raceway Systems, Stainless Steel Wireway Systems and Stainless Steel Conduit Systems – all offering unique features and benefits alongside their impeccable product quality.
In contrast, a subset of Electrix’ clientele may be less certain about their requirements. In such instances, the Electrix professionals step in as advisors. They are easily reachable through multiple channels, like phone, live chat, or email, to begin a consultative journey with these clients. This approach involves a thorough understanding of the client’s requirements, followed by the proposal of bespoke solutions that best suit their distinctive needs.
Bespoke Products
Electrix has an expansive catalog featuring thousands of enclosure options. However, the company also acknowledges the critical demand for bespoke solutions, which it caters to in its "Custom Shop". The firm receives detailed designs from clients with specific, customized enclosure needs, which may include unique entry points or altered dimensions. The Electrix team then fine-tunes these designs, securing client approval before proceeding to manufacturing and delivery within ten days. This customization approach transcends mere compliance with specific requirements; it represents a strategic initiative aimed at significantly reducing the time, labor, and installation costs for clients.
Such dedication to understanding and addressing client needs is further exemplified in Electrix’ numerous collaborative projects. One notable partnership involved a client transitioning from a major competitor in the stainless steel industry, driven by quality issues. The client faced challenges with rough stainless steel surfaces in their food processing environment and durability concerns due to inadequate ink marking. Electrix intervened with its WASHDOWNPRO enclosures, refining sizes, adding various cutouts for specific cable entries, and implementing laser marking for lasting identification, all of which addressed the client's needs and provided a durable, easy-to-install product for their specific environment.
In another instance, Electrix encountered a military client seeking significantly upgraded, lockable enclosures. The firm’s process involved prototyping, discussions, and rapid production turnaround, which ensured that the product's robustness adhered to the rigid military specifications.

Similarly, another challenge emerged with a laboratory client who required enclosures to house computer systems, necessitating precise ventilation, touchscreen integration, and a washable keyboard. Electrix tailored the enclosures to fit numerous components seamlessly, ensuring compliance with stringent washing requirements.
Powering Progress through Innovation and Family Values
Electrix’ ethos is rooted in familial ties and a team-centric approach. The firm has been a family-owned venture since it was established in 1981 by the Thompson Family, where the distinction between management and other team members blurs. This approach is shared by the 70-member team, who are considered part of the "Electrix family". The firm follows a hands-on approach, with the management, including Chris Thompson and Stewart Beer, Operations Director and Site Manager, readily available to assist and support the team at any time.
Large Inventory
The company's commitment to innovation and efficiency is evident in its growth trajectory. Despite having a modest headcount, Electrix has significantly increased its output, focusing on technology breakthroughs and investments to triple turnover. With the capacity to produce almost quarter of a million enclosures per year, Electrix is considered a prominent player in the market, with a large inventory of over 400,000 products ready for dispatch.
Electrix’ roadmap includes two upcoming product lines, each tailored based on customer feedback and market demand.
Worldwide Leader
Beyond borders, Electrix' global footprint, from its UK headquarters to the New York office, signifies a widespread reach, enabling easy product access for a diverse clientele through both distributor networks and direct customer engagement.
However, amidst its global stature, Electrix' narrative is not solely about industry prominence; it is a narrative steeped in nurturing partnerships and driving advancement through a trifecta of innovation, efficiency, and enduring family values. In doing so, it not only sets industry benchmarks but also redefines the standard for sustainable growth and customer centric solutions.
