Why Our Panel Shop

Engineered Solutions, Built In-House

Most distributors sell components. We go further — designing and building complete, production-ready control panels and power assemblies in our UL 508A certified shop. When you source your drives, motors, and enclosures through The 84 Group, you can have them integrated and factory-tested before they ever reach your floor.

Every panel we build starts with the right components for your application — chosen from our portfolio of 30+ world-class manufacturers. The result is a system built to UL 508A standards, properly labeled and documented, and arrives ready to install.

Factory Tested Before Shipment Every panel is fully wired, powered up, and functionally tested in our UL 508A certified shop before it ships to your site.
Faster Lead Times Direct component sourcing and in-house fabrication means shorter schedules versus third-party panel builders.

What We Build

From a single VFD enclosure to a complete multi-section power assembly — our UL 508A certified shop handles the full range of industrial control needs.

VFD Drive Enclosures

Custom enclosed packages for AC and DC variable frequency drives. Single or multi-drive configurations with circuit protection, bypass contactors, cable management, and climate control — built around ABB, Yaskawa, WEG, and more.

Motor Control Centers

Full MCC assemblies and individual starter sections for multi-motor applications. Built to UL 508A requirements for mining, water treatment, industrial manufacturing, and power utility environments with proper arc-flash labeling and documentation.

PLC & Automation Panels

Programmable logic controller panels built to your I/O requirements. Includes safety relay integration, HMI mounting, Ethernet/DeviceNet communication, and full I/O wiring and labeling per customer specification.

Custom Operator Enclosures

Turnkey control stations with push buttons, selector switches, pilot lights, analog meters, and touchscreen HMIs. Any NEMA rating — 4, 4X, 12, or 3R — in steel, stainless, or painted carbon steel.

High-Power & Medium Voltage

Large-format power assemblies including DC drive panels from 25A to 20,000A, semiconductor fuse assemblies, copper bus work, switchgear sections, and multi-section lineups for demanding industrial applications.

Retrofits & Upgrades

Existing panel in need of a drive replacement, controls upgrade, or safety modernization? We can retrofit your current enclosure or build a drop-in replacement — including legacy Sami Star and older ABB drive upgrades.

Quality & Standards

Built to the Right Standard

UL 508A Certification

Our panel shop is UL 508A certified — the industry standard for industrial control panels. Construction, wiring methods, component selection, and documentation meet UL requirements for safe, inspectable, production-ready panels.

Proper Documentation

Every panel ships with full wiring diagrams, component data sheets, and as-built drawings for maintenance, inspection, and UL 508A compliance records.

Arc-Flash & Safety Labeling

NFPA 70E-compliant safety labeling and arc-flash hazard warnings applied per NEC requirements on every panel.

Factory Acceptance Testing

Panels are energized and functionally tested at our facility. You know it works before it ships to your site.

NEMA Rated Enclosures

We build to the protection rating your environment demands — NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 4X, or 12 as required.
