UL 508A Panel Fabrication for Engineering Firms & System Integrators
Full-service UL 508A-certified industrial control panel shop in Lowell, MI. Bring us your prints — or work with our team from BOM to build.
Finding a Reliable Panel Shop Shouldn't Be This Hard
Unfortunately, without automation control panels designed to safety standards we see customers deal with uncertainty and risk:
❌ Panel shops that can’t hold schedule or communicate delays
❌ Shops without UL 508A certification, creating liability exposure
❌ Inconsistent workmanship across a multi-panel production run
❌ Shops that need hand-holding on layouts instead of executing your prints
❌ Overflow capacity issues — shop is too small for your volume
❌ Panels that arrive untested and not field-ready
A Panel Shop That Executes Like a Partner , Not a Vendor
Prism Controls is a UL 508A-certified panel shop producing 900+ panels per year from our facility in Lowell, Michigan. We work with engineering firms, system integrators, and machine builders who need a reliable fabrication partner. Bring us your prints and we’ll deliver finished panels ready for field installation — or work with our team on layout if you need collaborative support getting from BOM to build.
