Manufacturing knowledge.
Under one roof.

CWS brings switchboard design, assembly, wiring, finishing and testing together. The powder coating and engraving departments also work with trade businesses and private customers on their own projects.

That connection matters in the workshop: enclosure details, coating requirements, equipment references and final documentation can be considered as part of the build.
