Contained aisle applicationsConcept visualization
25+ years of manufacturing experience
Built to
fabricate.
More than 500 employees supporting complex production across North America—from 25+ years in automotive manufacturing to today’s most demanding data-center programs.
Experienced fabricators
Automotive discipline. Data-center scale.
For more than 25 years, our manufacturing group has delivered repeatable fabricated products to the automotive industry. In recent years, CSS has applied that same production discipline, quality focus and schedule control to large-scale data-center manufacturing.
Today, our core programs include kitted generator enclosures, fabricated bases and skids, and precision mods for hot aisle containment—supported by integrated cutting, forming, AWS D1.1 welding, automated finishing, assembly and program management.
