Enclosures Vynckier Non-metallic Enclosures Part of the GE Power Controls Group, Vynckier n.v. is the world’s leading manufacturer of non-metallic enclosures. Vynckier, headquartered in Ghent , Belgium, has one of the largest and most advanced plastic molding operations in Europe. Vynckier produces many of its own raw materials, such as mold- ing compounds, bakelite and Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP). Vynckier became the leader in FRP enclosures by being the first to market FRP enclosures. Vynckier’s advanced toolmaking facility has an active research and development staff continually creating and improving a wide variety of products. Vynckier is among the first enclosure companies to receive its ISO 9001 Certification. Having a wealth of diverse experiences, Vynckier is a progressive company committed to excellence and performance. Fire, Water, Dust, Chemicals, Weather…and Halogen. Vynckier enclosures protect your valuable equipment from many adverse conditions because they are manufactured from hot compression-molded fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP). FRP is a complex composite material consisting of a polyester resin base with organic fillers to facilitate flow and to obtain special physical characteristics such as UV resistance, halogen- free and self-extinguishing properties. Additional additives are used to provide for proper consistency and pigmentation of the resin base. Glass fibers, which make up 25 percent of the overall compound, are sandwiched between two layers of the polyester resin and are impregnated into the resin base by an elaborate roller system. This process produces a very uniform, high strength material. Vynckier utilizes the most advanced process for molding its enclosures. Our hot compression molding process provides better flow of material into tight corner areas than cold molding process. This produces a stronger end product , allowing the glass fibers to run in a single direction. Vynckier enclosures are lightweight , durable, watertight and non- corroding. They are a superior alternative to metal enclosures. Vynckier’s track record for producing these quality products spans more than 40 years. Inventory & Selection Our enclosures are versatile. The Vynckier product choices range from small pushbutton enclosures to modular units able to be coupled to meet size requirements to large freestanding cabi- nets. All product series offer superior strength and are made from corrosion resistant material. Vynckier’s 92,000 square foot Houston, Texas service center contains inventory of all enclosure series, cabinets, pedestals and accessories. All stock orders are shipped within 24 hours. Our service center is also home to our UL-508 modification facility and a complete showroom where Vynckier Enclosure Systems’ full line of FRP enclosures, cabinets and pedestals are on display.

Computer Aided Design & Manufacturing Vynckier’s FRP enclosures are easily custom modified either by our plants or in the field. Precision modifications such as a special cutout or a certain diameter hole are made on CNC machinery. Custom windows, latches, hinges or component sub-assembly are our specialty. Even individual special orders for such items as combination starters, disconnects, pushbutton control stations and modular units may be configured to meet your specifications. Pre-Assembly All Vynckier enclosures are ready for use once they leave our facility. There are no requirements for tools for additional assembly. Complete Custom Turn-Key Jobs When a complete solution is required, select your GE parts, and we will put them together in an enclosed package in our UL508 modification facility. GE Product Quality Upon completion of your order, the enclosures are inspected for accuracy. This quality assurance process involves measuring for proper dimensional requirements, confirming proper modifi- cations, fit and finish. Moisture/Dust Proof Whatever the conditions–washdown, rain, condensation on wind- blown dust–Vynckier has the enclosure to fit your application. Stress Proof With fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) enclosures from Vynckier, field modification is a snap. Corrosion Proof For cost-effective corrosion control there’s no better solution than a non-metallic enclosure from Vynckier.
