Industrial enclosures
Industrial enclosures for machines and plants
Formest manufactures industrial enclosures for machine tools, automated machinery and industrial plants, managing the entire production process in-house — from engineering and sheet metal fabrication to mechanical assembly and preparation for installation.
Enclosures are developed as integral parts of the machine, engineered to ensure operational safety, structural integrity and long-term reliability. Production is organized to guarantee repeatability, dimensional accuracy and consistency, even for complex projects or medium-to-large production batches.
Production is based on a structured industrial workflow integrating sheet metal fabrication and mechanical assembly. Industrial enclosures are primarily manufactured from sheet metal, processed according to technical specifications defined during the engineering phase.
Each phase is planned according to the defined production cycle, with control of lead times, operational sequences and dimensional compliance.

Welding and Structural Assembly
Welding is a critical phase in the manufacturing of industrial enclosures. MAG, MIG and TIG processes are applied to load-bearing structures, frames, panels and functional components.
Certified welders operate in accordance with defined and controlled procedures, with particular attention to mechanical strength, joint continuity and overall structural performance. Surface quality is also monitored to ensure proper preparation for subsequent finishing processes.
Process Control and Production Quality
The manufacturing process is continuously monitored through structured workflow planning, time tracking and dimensional verification. The organizational system ensures production stability and full traceability throughout all phases.
The management system complies with internationally recognized standards:
- UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management
- ISO 3834-2 – Welding Quality Requirements
- EN 1090-1 – Structural Components
Certifications are integrated into daily operational control and production management.
Manufacturing activities take place within an organized industrial facility equipped with extensive covered and outdoor areas, including lifting and handling systems suitable for large-scale industrial enclosures.
The facility layout ensures:
Clear separation of production stages
Structured material flow management
Efficient project scheduling
Minimized operational interference
Integration with External Processes and Finishing
When required, production is complemented by a consolidated network of qualified suppliers for mechanical machining and surface treatments. External operations are coordinated and supervised to ensure technical continuity and consistent quality standards.
Production Focused on Operational Reliability
Industrial enclosures are not designed solely to meet regulatory requirements, but to ensure long-term reliability, ease of use and seamless integration with the machine.
A controlled manufacturing process, combined with consolidated technical expertise, enables the delivery of robust and functional solutions suited for complex industrial environments.
