Local Manufacturing Specialists

Collaboration with Local Experts

Our collaboration with local businesses in Sussex allows us to offer a full range of manufacturing services managed under GBE's stringent Quality Management System.

By choosing local manufacturing, you benefit from a lower carbon footprint due to reduced transportation distances, supporting sustainability efforts. Additionally, supporting local businesses helps stimulate the local economy, fostering growth and innovation within the community.

Local manufacturing also ensures quicker time to market, as proximity allows for faster communication and more efficient coordination. This means that any necessary adjustments can be implemented swiftly, ensuring your project stays on track and meets deadlines. By working with trusted local experts, we maintain high quality and precision in every aspect of the manufacturing process.

With GBE Electronics, you get the best of local expertise and a commitment to sustainability, quality, and community support.

Key Local Manufacturing Services

• 3D Printing
  Our 3D printing services offer fast turnaround for prototyping, ideal for assessing form, function, and aesthetics. Using a variety of materials and finishes, we create high-quality prototypes that allow you to validate designs and make necessary adjustments before full-scale production. This rapid prototyping capability speeds up the development process and reduces costs by identifying potential issues early. Our advanced 3D printing technology ensures precise and reliable prototypes that meet your exact specifications, facilitating a smooth transition to final manufacturing.
• Enclosure Manufacturing
  From modifying existing metal or plastic enclosures to creating bespoke designs, our enclosure manufacturing services are tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring precision and quality.
• CNC Metal and Plastic Machining and Fabrication
  Partnering with David Briggs, a specialist with over 40 years of expertise, we offer precision CNC machining, milling, turning, welding, and vacuum welding. David excels at overcoming manufacturing challenges and creating bespoke solutions, ensuring exceptional accuracy and quality in prototype and low-volume manufacturing. His extensive experience allows us to tackle complex projects and deliver customised parts that meet the highest standards. This collaboration guarantees that your products benefit from expert craftsmanship and innovative problem-solving, resulting in superior quality and reliability.
• EMC and Immunity Pre-Compliance Testing
  Through METECC, we provide comprehensive EMC and immunity pre-compliance testing, ensuring your products meet regulatory obligations and technical standards and perform reliably in their intended environments.

Seamless Design-to-Manufacture Transition

At GBE Electronics, we prioritise a seamless transition from design to manufacture. Our team ensures that your product is designed for manufacturability, facilitating an efficient and cost-effective production process.

We provide expert guidance on the best manufacturing approach, whether it involves high-standard, low-volume local manufacturing or building up to large-scale offshore production.

Proactive Manufacturing Management

We manage the entire manufacturing process on your behalf, maintaining open communication with our manufacturing partners.

This ensures your product benefits from the best material selection and availability and meets your specifications and quality standards.

Pre-Production Prototypes

At GBE Electronics, we produce both proof of concept and pre-production prototypes with our chosen manufacturers. This dual approach allows us to support early-stage development and validate the design and manufacturing process for high-quality production runs.

By creating proof of concept prototypes, we help you explore and refine initial ideas, ensuring feasibility and functionality. Our pre-production prototypes then ensure the final product meets your expectations, confirming that all specifications and quality standards are met before full-scale manufacturing begins.
