Engineered for your application.
The control architecture follows the process: batch or continuous, recipe-driven or fixed, standalone or integrated into an existing plant control system.
Custom industrial solutions by ALTEBO
Industrial control panels, engineered for your process
Electrical and automation control panels designed and built to your process, your equipment and your electrical specification — from a compact panel on a single machine to a multi-bay system controlling a complete production line.
Three-bay line-up in service. Selector switches and status lamps per drive on the left, drive keypads in the centre, emergency stop and main isolator on the right — all reachable without opening a door.
Engineering, not catalogue
This is not an off-the-shelf electrical cabinet
A control panel bought from a catalogue is an empty enclosure with a price. What decides whether a line runs is what goes inside it, how it is laid out, how it is wired and whether the architecture matches the process it controls — and none of that comes out of a catalogue.
We have built the process equipment these panels control for over twenty years: mixers, conveyors, dosing systems, complete production lines. That is the difference in practice — the panel is designed by people who know what the machine on the other end of the cable is doing, not only what the wiring diagram says.
Built to your dimensions.
Enclosure size, bay count, door arrangement and cable entry set by the space available and the way your maintenance team needs to work on it.
Manufactured for demanding environments.
Stainless enclosures for wash-down and food production, painted steel for dry plant rooms, with the protection rating specified to the environment rather than assumed.
Range
From a single machine to a whole plant
The same engineering and the same build quality across the range. What changes is the scale — and the four examples below are all our own work.
Compact wall-mounted panel
For a single machine or a local control point.

Floor-standing single-door panel
For one machine or a small equipment group.
See this panel
Double-door panel
For a process section or a machine group.

Multi-bay factory control system
For a complete production line.

Every panel is engineered to eight inputs
Send us as many of these as you have. The ones you cannot answer, we work out together — that is part of the engineering rather than a reason to delay the quotation.
Industrial process
What the line actually does, and which sequences the panel has to control and interlock.
Equipment
The motors, drives, valves, heaters and instruments to be connected, with their ratings.
Automation requirements
Recipe handling, batch reporting, remote access, integration with an existing plant system.
Size
The footprint and headroom available, and how the panel has to be brought into the building.
Complexity
From a handful of starters to hundreds of I/O points across several bays.
Electrical specification
Supply voltage and frequency, fault level, protection and earthing arrangement.
Control architecture
Hardwired, PLC-based, or a distributed arrangement with remote I/O and local HMIs.
Factory environment
Wash-down, dust, ambient temperature, corrosive atmosphere, hygiene requirements.
Manufacturing
Enclosure and electrical work in the same plant
The enclosure is fabricated in the same workshop that builds our stainless process equipment, and the panel is built and tested alongside the machinery it controls. Nothing is subcontracted.
Enclosure fabrication
- Stainless and painted steel enclosures fabricated in-house — cutting, forming, welding, grinding and finishing
- Door arrangement, plinth or feet, lifting eyes, cable entry and gland plates all made to the drawing
Electrical assembly
- Component mounting, wiring, labelling and terminal identification
- Power and control sections separated, with wiring routed so a fault can be traced
Automation and programming
- PLC and HMI programming, with recipe handling and batch reporting where the process needs it
- Integration with an existing plant control system rather than replacing it
Testing and documentation
- Functional testing before dispatch, with the panel powered and the sequences exercised
Installation and commissioning
- Installation and commissioning at your site, including in plants that stay in production
- The panel commissioned together with the equipment it controls, by the people who built both

Industries
Where these panels run
The environment decides the enclosure as much as the process decides the electrics.
Food and beverage
Stainless enclosures, wash-down protection and hygienic detailing — bottling and filling lines, dairies, bakeries, processing plants.
Chemicals
Corrosive atmospheres and batch processes with recipe control and a documented record per batch.
Construction materials
Dust, vibration and high-power drives — dry mortar plants, ceramics, aggregate handling.
Agriculture and animal feed
Intake, conveying, dosing and mixing sequences, often across a site rather than a single building.
How it works
From specification to commissioned panel
- STEP 01
Specification
You send the process, the equipment list and the electrical supply data. Under NDA if the project needs one.
- STEP 02
Engineering proposal
Control architecture, enclosure arrangement and price — normally within 48 hours of a complete specification.
- STEP 03
Drawings approved
Wiring diagrams and panel layout approved by you before anything is cut or ordered.
- STEP 04
Build and test
Enclosure fabrication, electrical assembly, programming and functional testing in our own plant.
- STEP 05
Install and commission
Delivery, installation and commissioning on site, handed over running.
Frequently asked
What engineers ask before specifying a panel
Can you build a panel to our own drawings and component list?
Yes. If you send finished drawings we build to them, including to your preferred component brands so the panel matches the spares you already hold. If you send a process specification instead, our engineers develop the control architecture with you and you approve the drawings before anything is ordered.
How large a system can you build?
The largest example on this page is a three-bay line-up controlling a complete production line, and multi-bay systems are routine work. The practical limits are the space available in your building and how the line-up can be brought in and placed — both of which we check at drawing stage.
What protection rating do you build to?
The rating is specified to the environment rather than applied by default — a wash-down food plant and a dry electrical room are not the same problem.
Do you supply the panel with the machinery, or on its own?
Both. When we build the process equipment, the panel is designed and commissioned as part of it — which is the arrangement we would recommend, because the two are then tested together before they reach your site. We also build panels on their own, for machinery you already have or are building yourself.
Can it be installed without stopping our production?
Usually yes, and it is a large part of how we work: the panel is built and tested in our plant, so the time on site is installation and commissioning rather than assembly. The changeover window depends on how the existing control is arranged, which we assess during the site survey.
Where are the panels manufactured?
In our own plants in Tomești (Iași, Romania) and Bălți (Republic of Moldova). The Romanian plant is inside the EU single market, so deliveries within the Union involve no customs and no import duty.
