What Verotec does

Verotec Limited is a UK-based specialist designer, manufacturer, and integrator of electronic enclosures and embedded computing systems, headquartered in Waltham Chase, Hampshire with a satellite facility in Connecticut, USA. The company traces its brand heritage to the VERO name, which has been associated with electronic enclosures for over 50 years, and operates as a majority-owned subsidiary of Polyrack Group following a September 2024 acquisition. Verotec's product portfolio spans standard catalogued ranges — VPX/SOSA backplanes and systems, VME and CompactPCI platforms, KM6 Eurocard subracks, IMRAK 19-inch cabinets, VERAK IP65/EMC enclosures, Veroshield cases, and a broad family of desktop/portable metal enclosures — complemented by full in-house design, sheet-metal fabrication (Trumpf TruPunch and TruBend), CNC machining, assembly, and electrical safety testing services. Approximately 90% of metal enclosure parts are produced in-house.

The business serves mission-critical applications across four primary verticals: Aerospace & Defence (General Dynamics Electric Boat, Leonardo, BAE Systems, Honeywell, NAVAIR, the UK Land Systems Reference Centre), Transportation (Infrabel, Transport for London), Medical & Scientific (European Spallation Source, NHS Hospitals), and Multimedia/Broadcast/Telecommunications (BBC, Thales, Schneider Electric). Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware sales of catalogued products (distributed via direct sales, global agents/distributors, and pan-European catalogue channels) and bespoke engineering/manufacturing services for customised solutions. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, RoHS and REACH compliant, JOSCAR-registered for UK defence supply chains, and is implementing EN/AS9100 for aerospace; a March 2026 strategic partnership with Kontron extends the offering into configured VPX/SOSA COTS/MOTS systems for defence and rail.
