Built for demanding environments
One team. Every stage of your enclosure.
Bus Solutions brings mechanical design, machining, integration and cable manufacture together under one roof. That means fewer hand-offs, tighter quality control and a system designed as a complete product—not a collection of parts.
See all capabilitiesWhat we do
From blank sheet to finished system.
Flexible support for a single component, an enclosure redesign or a complete integrated assembly.
Complete enclosures
Custom VPX, VME and CompactPCI platforms designed around the thermal, mechanical and electrical demands of your application.

Autodesk Inventor 2027 mechanical design, from early concepts and packaging studies to production-ready drawings.
In-house CNC machining
Precision aluminium panels and parts produced in-house for consistent quality, responsive lead times and design control.
Cable & harness
Designed and assembled cable systems with professional termination, routing, labelling and repeatable workmanship.
Thermal & EMC support
Cooling architecture, airflow, shielding and certification support for commercial and demanding Mil-Spec environments.
System integration
Backplanes, power, cooling, wiring and mechanical components brought together as a tested, practical assembly.
Engineering under one roof
Control the detail. Control the outcome.
Keeping design and manufacture close together lets our engineers solve practical issues early, refine components quickly and maintain responsibility through the full project.
