Custom Components & Assemblies

Because data centers run continuously, every part of the supporting infrastructure must be built to last. OEMs and Tier suppliers turn to Vander-Bend for custom data center components because quality and precision are built into every assembly we create.

Our sheet metal fabrication professionals work closely with customers to design components around their application’s unique geometries, EMI requirements, and thermal profile. Reach out today to learn more about our capabilities and discuss the needs of your project.

Data Center Parts Tailored to Every Configuration

Dozens of interdependent data center components work in tandem with one another inside a single server rack footprint. Vander-Bend fabricates both the structural and functional parts that OEMs and Tier partners require for hyperscale environments.

Custom Server Rack & Frame Manufacturing

Most rack-level deployments are anchored by server racks built to precise dimensional and load specifications. Cabinets receive the same attention to fit and form, configured around exact footprints and form factors.

Metal Enclosures

Consoles focus on operator access and cable management, while chassis assemblies are designed to house sensitive electronics with EMI shielding and airflow requirements.

Panels, Rails & Infrastructure Components

OEMs and Tier supply chain partners need assurance that fabricated data center components will deliver lasting performance. At Vander-Bend, we design trays and shelves around the application’s weight distribution requirements. Rails and slides are also engineered for repeated extension cycles. This allows for installation and maintenance to be carried out without excessive downtime.

Custom Server Cabinets

Cabinet doors are integral to cooling and security access. Our team fabricates these data center components with perforation patterns that align with application-specific requirements. We also create filler panels to close unused rack space and machine cutouts to support cable pass-through as well as ventilation.

Power Distribution Equipment

Power distribution panels are used to help disperse and manage electrical loads in dense server racks. Vander-Bend maintains open communication with clients to validate panel layouts prior to production, which reduces the need for rework after the final assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Vander-Bend maintain quality across large-scale production runs?

Vander-Bend maintains consistent quality through our First Step™ Design for Manufacturing solutions, which help identify potential production challenges before manufacturing begins. We also use detailed documentation to ensure traceability and repeatable outcomes across production runs.

What materials does Vander-Bend use to fabricate data center components?

Steel and aluminum are used for most of the data center components and assemblies we produce. Our team is committed to using premium quality materials that deliver the durability and appearance our clients are looking for.

Can Vander-Bend handle unexpected program volume changes?

Yes. Our multi-assembly zones let several product lines run simultaneously, so capacity can shift as order volumes increase or decrease.
