Company Profile

Engineered Case Manufacturers Inc. addresses the needs of businesses and individuals who are not satisfied with OEM and commercial offerings available through stock channels. Using a combination of Autocad and other proprietary software, coupled with the knowledge gained from building thousands of cases, we offer custom fabricated cases that are tailored to your specific requirements. While other companies may offer only one case material, Engineered Case Manufacturers offers you a choice of plywood laminated with aluminum or ABS, TIG welded rigidized aluminum or injection molded plastic. An incredible array of stock and custom components and other hardware gives us the ability to design cases to suit your equipment, your particular shipping requirements and your budget. Transit cases, storage cases, EIA rack mount cases, tool and briefcases, work trunks, computer system cases, lighting, motor and other touring cases; nobody offers you more choices than Engineered Case Manufacturers. ECM was founded by a local musician over 12 years ago. This particular craftsman was unhappy with the design and quality of product offered in the marketplace at the time. He knew that he could do a better job. Having been on the road, he was aware of the needs of his peers and started making cases in his garage for other musicians. Today, ECM employs approximately 20 people in a 10,000 square foot facility, and manufactures approximately 6000 cases each year.

About Company

From the very beginning, ECM's primary goal has been to provide custom cases that equaled or surpassed other manufacturers products. To this end, we have taken a different approach to manufacturing. While others look for ways to cut costs (usually by cutting corners), we've maintained more costly methods of construction. Why? Because most of these cost cutting exercises are designed to fatten the bottom line, not produce better cases. We want to build the best case possible. We test and evaluate, test and evaluate. When that's done, we test and evaluate some more. We build prototypes, both for our customers and for ourselves. It's a costly exercise, but the knowledge gained goes a long way to providing you with a superior product. Sure, you can buy a cheaper case from some of the other manufacturers out there. But what do you give up if it doesn't do the job and your equipment or product arrives at its destination damaged? Your reputation? Your good name? Future business with that customer? Professionals understand that money saved on packaging and protection is of little consequence when these other considerations are factored into the Price / Value equation. Sometimes a cheaper price isn't a better deal. To list all of the different case types that we manufacture would take more space than we have available. Suffice it to say that if it can be cased, we can build it for you. Cases for scientific instruments, sound, lighting and musical equipment, rack mount equipment, tools, supplies, trade show exhibits, automotive components, AV equipment, sales samples, literature, the list is virtually endless.
