Manufacturing

Raw steel in. Finished racks out. All in-house.

Grantec is not a trader. Since 2005 we have run our own sheet-metal plant in Cixi, Ningbo — around 200 people, six R&D engineers, and the full chain from laser cutting to powder coating under one roof. That is how quality stays consistent at container volume.

The process

Eight steps, one roof

Every rack follows the same path — no outsourced fabrication, no middleman.

By the numbers

Engineered for consistency and container economics

  • 1.0–2.0mmSPCC cold-rolled steel gauges
  • 4–5mmTempered-glass doors
  • 5-stagePre-treatment before coating
  • 2Standard RAL colours, more on request
  • 64%Freight saved, flat-pack

Flat-pack container math

Most cabinets flat-pack into a small number of packages, which slashes shipping volume. A 42U JA cabinet drops from 1.323 m³ assembled to 0.477 m³ flat-packed — about 64% less — so you load far more racks per container.

Each series page lists assembled and flat-pack carton volumes per model. Container quantities depend on your product mix and loading practice — send us your order and we will prepare a loading plan.
