Box Build

Box build manufacturing is about far more than placing components into an enclosure. It brings together the precise coordination of electronics, mechanical parts, cabling, testing and quality control to create a finished, dependable product that is ready for deployment.

NOTE UK delivers box build across all six of its UK sites – Windsor, Haddenham, Basildon, Wolverhampton (Kasdon Electronics), Hook (STI) and Poynton (STI) – with Haddenham and Poynton (STI) as its two box build specialists. From sourcing and sub-assembly through to complete product integration, testing, packaging and delivery, we support customers across the full build lifecycle.

The Haddenham team works from a 37,000 sq ft advanced manufacturing facility, combining decades of box build experience with scalable, end-to-end manufacturing support, an integrated supply chain and rigorous quality processes – helping customers reduce complexity and move products efficiently from build to delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Box build manufacturing is the assembly of a complete, finished product – bringing together PCBAs, enclosures, cabling, mechanical parts, power supplies and control modules, then testing, labelling and packaging the result ready for deployment. It goes beyond electronics assembly to deliver a dependable, integrated end product.

All six NOTE UK sites deliver box build: Windsor, Haddenham, Basildon, Wolverhampton (Kasdon Electronics), Hook (STI) and Poynton (STI). Haddenham and Poynton (STI) are the two box build specialists, offering deeper end-to-end support for complex programmes.

Yes. NOTE UK supports kiosk and self-service manufacturers with mechanical assembly, electronics box build, cable and wire harnessing, systems integration, testing, packaging and fulfilment – for ordering kiosks, self-checkout systems, ticketing terminals, check-in units, vending and dispensing machines, parcel lockers and information points.

Yes. NOTE UK supports EV charging and connected infrastructure businesses with electronics box build, cable and wire harnessing, power supply integration, electromechanical assembly, testing, packaging and fulfilment – for charge points, connected charging units, power and control systems and supporting EV infrastructure.

NOTE UK works to recognised frameworks including IPC-A-610 workmanship standards, ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 45001 health and safety, and AS9100 aerospace quality (STI).

Sector application

Box build applies across the sectors NOTE serves – including MedTech, Communications, Industrial and GreenTech. Three areas illustrate the breadth of support:

Kiosk & self-service technology

Self-service products are more than electronics. They bring together mechanical structures, enclosures, screens, internal electronics, cabling, power supplies, control modules and other integrated components. NOTE Haddenham provides practical manufacturing support – from build to deployment – for ordering kiosks, self-checkout systems, ticketing terminals, check-in units, vending and dispensing machines, parcel lockers, information points and other customer-facing self-service products.
