What Electrix International does

Electrix International is a UK-headquartered, family-owned manufacturer founded in June 1981 by members of the Thompson family, specialising in stainless steel electrical enclosures and cable management systems. The company designs and produces corrosion-resistant 304L and 316L stainless steel products, including the patented WashdownPro Ultra IP69K/IP66 enclosure line, Shroud Protected and Slimline NSF-certified enclosures, Flush Mounted Pharma enclosures, raceway and conduit systems, wire basket and cable tray, and supporting brackets and fasteners. A Custom Shop service designs and manufactures bespoke stainless steel products within 7 business days of drawing approval.

The business sells primarily to food processing, pharmaceutical, brewing, dairy, and beverage manufacturers, with enterprise specification relationships referenced at Mars, Coca-Cola, Pfizer, GSK, Kellogg's, and Shell. The company holds over 400,000 standard products in automated inventory, enabling same-day worldwide dispatch with typical 2-4 business day delivery, and operates a B2B e-commerce storefront requiring trade account registration to access pricing and place orders. A US sales office in New York handles North American commercial activity, supported by an International Quote Department with a 2-hour response SLA.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from one-time product sales (with associated custom-manufacturing professional services) at unit ASPs in the USD 110-280 range for standard enclosures and USD 275+ for motor disconnects, with trade-account pricing and volume discounts available. The company carries ISO 9001:2015, UL Registered Firm, and NSF certifications, employs 101-250 people, and is headquartered in Bishop Auckland, United Kingdom, with operations spanning North America and Europe under a global shipping footprint.
