Elma designs and assembles drive and control panels for diverse industrial applications. We work according to your electrical diagrams, BOM, and project specifications, ensuring consistent quality throughout the entire process—from engineering and work preparation to assembly, testing, and delivery.
Elma uses EPLAN as the standard for electrical engineering and designs with EPLAN Pro Panel 3D control cabinets. This allows us to visually verify at an early stage whether everything fits and is placed correctly. We also optimize the wiring so that wire processing is possible and wire harnesses are automatically generated. This method increases quality and significantly shortens production time.
Our engineers review provided designs against applicable standards, including IEC 61439 and IEC 60204, and advise where necessary on optimization, component selection, and manufacturability. Panels can be built in the Netherlands or at our sister company ELRO in Romania.
A Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) is a standard option and is performed according to your protocol or a jointly established test plan. Thanks to our Lean production approach, we achieve short lead times, predictable quality, and an efficient production process.
For OEMs and machine builders, ELMA offers cost-efficient series production via ELRO. By combining lower labor costs and competitive component prices, we offer economic advantages alongside Western European quality standards. Intensive knowledge exchange between locations guarantees a uniform working method and technically equivalent level.
The production facility is ISO 9001:2015 and VCA★★ certified and produces according to various international quality marks.
For projects with specific technical requirements, ELMA develops and builds custom panels.
We provide support with functional design, detail engineering, and component selection, focusing on reliability, serviceability, and lifespan. By closely integrating engineering and production, we limit failure costs and accelerate implementation. A custom solution that seamlessly integrates with your installation and process.
ELMA possesses extensive expertise in explosion-proof panels for hazardous areas. Our engineers translate current Ex directives into safe, compliant designs.
We supply Ex d, Ex de, Ex e, and Ex p panels, among others, including certification by recognized bodies and a complete technical file. This ensures an installation that meets the strictest safety and compliance requirements, with maximum operational reliability.
Elma strives to prevent waste by ensuring that all activities, resources, materials, and processes add value for the customer.
Elma optimizes its processes using the Lean methodology by reducing waste and improving flow. This results in shorter lead times, higher quality, and lower production costs.
Where necessary, Six Sigma is deployed to statistically support quality improvements and determine priorities. Using selected KPIs, points for improvement in the assembly process are made transparent.
