About SANTOX
SANTOX has been developing and manufacturing protection systems for sensitive technology since 1984: aluminium cases in 25 designs (S-2000/S-4000 series), 19″ equipment trolleys of the S-5000 series (15 U, up to 200 kg per caster, ESD-capable), waterproof plastic cases to IP67 in over 30 designs as well as special housings made of aluminium, stainless steel, steel and plastic. Manufacturing includes CNC milling of front panels and milled parts from a single piece, laser cutting, punching, sawing, bending, waterjet cutting of foam inserts made of polyurethane or Plastazote, anodising, printing and laser engraving as well as assembly, testing and shipping. In addition to its own system solutions, the company offers contract manufacturing for manufacturers, designers and development departments. All process steps, from consulting and design through to a lifetime repair and spare parts service, take place at its own plant in Löffingen-Unadingen in the Black Forest. Since 2018, SANTOX has been part of the WÖHR Group.
