Outsourced Skilled Manufacturing

Stop Running a Panel Shop.
Start Building Products.

Outsourced Controls is the dedicated OEM panel manufacturing partner for industrial equipment builders who need reliable, scalable, UL 508A certified production — without the overhead of running their own panel shop.

The Business Case

Why OEMs Outsource Panel Manufacturing

Eliminate Fixed Overhead

In-house panel shops carry fixed costs regardless of volume — floor space, equipment, benefits, and training. Outsourcing converts those fixed costs to variable costs that scale with your production.

Scale Without Hiring

Production ramp-ups no longer require hiring, training, and managing additional panel technicians. We absorb your volume fluctuations with existing capacity.

Transfer Compliance Risk

UL 508A compliance is our core competency, not a side obligation. We maintain the listing, manage the audits, and keep up with standard revisions so you don't have to.

Simplify Procurement

We manage your entire panel BOM — component sourcing, vendor relationships, lead time management, and inventory. One PO replaces dozens of component orders.

Faster Time-to-Market

Dedicated production cells and established processes mean faster cycle times. We've already solved the manufacturing problems you'd spend months figuring out.

Single Accountable Partner

One partner for design, fabrication, testing, documentation, and delivery. No finger-pointing between vendors when something needs to be resolved.

The Outsourced Controls Advantage
