Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication for Data Center Infrastructure
Data center buildouts move on unforgiving schedules.
EVS Metal manufactures the racks, enclosures, and infrastructure components behind them — fabricated, finished, and assembled at production volume across four U.S. facilities.
What We Build for Data Centers
From complete rack systems to the brackets that mount them, EVS fabricates the physical layer of digital infrastructure. Whether your program needs a single component at tight tolerance or an integrated assembly delivered ready to deploy, we manufacture it in steel or aluminum, finish it in-house, and ship it from the facility closest to your project.
Server & Equipment Racks
Standard and custom rack builds in steel or aluminum — welded or knock-down, open-frame or enclosed, fabricated to your U-height and load spec.
Wall-Mounted Rack Systems
Compact wall-mount racks and swing-out frames for edge and distribution deployments — produced at hundreds of units per month for continuous programs.
Rack Frames & Structural Components
Posts, rails, crossmembers, and base assemblies formed and welded to print — the structural skeleton behind every rack program.
Enclosures & Cabinets
Ventilated and sealed enclosures with doors, locks, and cutouts to spec — powder coated in-house for a uniform, brand-matched finish.
Panels, Doors & Covers
Perforated, solid, and louvered panels; hinged and removable doors; blanking covers — precision-formed with hardware installed.
Brackets & Mounting Hardware
Mounting brackets, adapter plates, and support hardware in any volume — laser-cut, formed, and finished to drop into your assembly.
Cable Trays & Management Components
Trays, ladders, waterfalls, and routing hardware fabricated to run lengths — deburred edges that protect the cable they carry.
Welded Assemblies
Robotic and manual welding for frames, bases, and multi-part weldments — fixtured for repeatability across production quantities.
Hardware-Inserted Components
PEM fasteners, standoffs, and captive hardware installed to print on 33 insertion presses — parts that arrive assembly-ready.
Powder Coated Parts
In-house powder coating in standard and custom colors — applied in the same facility that formed the metal, for finish quality that survives installation and service.
Integrated & Custom Assemblies
Multi-component assemblies built, hardware-installed, and packaged deployment-ready — including one-off and custom infrastructure parts engineered from your CAD data.
Precision Cooling & Air Handling Components
Enclosures, housings, and structural components for precision cooling, air handling, and humidity control systems serving mission-critical facilities.
Built for How Data Center Projects Actually Run
Deployment schedules don't wait
Volume with consistency
Finish that survives the facility
Data center hardware is installed, reconfigured, and serviced for years. In-house powder coating delivers a durable, uniform, brand-matchable finish — applied in the same facility that formed the metal.

Standards That Matter Here
ISO 9001:2015
Registered quality management across all four facilities — on high-volume programs, documented process control makes consistency a system rather than a hope.
Dock-to-Stock Capability
Parts that go from receiving directly into production, no incoming inspection — a step removed from your critical path.
Recognized Among North America’s Top Fabricators
EVS has appeared on The Fabricator’s Fab 40 list of the top sheet metal fabricators in North America for 17 consecutive years — a track record built on long-term production partnerships, not one-off jobs.
Four U.S. Facilities
351,000+ sq ft of combined manufacturing capacity — production near your project, redundancy in your supply chain.
Data Center Fabrication FAQ
What data center infrastructure components does EVS Metal fabricate?
EVS Metal manufactures precision sheet metal components and assemblies for data center infrastructure, including server and equipment racks, wall-mounted rack systems, structural rack frames, enclosures, panels, doors, covers, mounting brackets, cable-management components, welded assemblies, hardware-inserted parts, and precision cooling and air-handling components. Programs can range from individual fabricated parts to finished, deployment-ready assemblies produced at recurring volume.
How does EVS support data center programs from prototype through production?
Data center infrastructure programs often evolve as rack configurations, airflow requirements, mounting provisions, and deployment plans change. EVS supports customers from prototype fabrication and engineering revisions through sustained production, helping maintain consistent manufacturing processes, documentation, and quality as programs scale. EVS also works directly from customer CAD data and can help identify manufacturability issues before they become production problems.
What materials are commonly used for data center racks and infrastructure components?
Steel and aluminum are commonly used for data center racks, enclosures, structural components, panels, and mounting hardware. Material selection depends on factors such as structural requirements, weight, corrosion resistance, thermal considerations, and cost. EVS can also review material choices during the design process to help balance performance with manufacturability and production efficiency.
How does EVS maintain consistency across high-volume data center production?
EVS combines CNC fabrication, robotic and manual welding, dedicated fixturing, documented inspection processes, and ISO 9001:2015-registered quality systems to support repeatable production. This is especially important for rack and infrastructure programs where hundreds of units may need to assemble and perform consistently across an ongoing deployment.
Which manufacturing processes are performed in-house?
EVS provides integrated metal fabrication, CNC machining, welding, hardware insertion, powder coating, assembly, and engineering support. Keeping multiple processes within the same manufacturing organization helps reduce handoffs, maintain quality control, shorten lead times, and deliver finished components or assemblies ready for deployment.
What production volumes can EVS support for data center infrastructure?
EVS supports programs ranging from prototypes and low-volume custom builds to sustained high-volume production. With four U.S. manufacturing facilities totaling more than 351,000 square feet, EVS can support recurring infrastructure programs, balance production capacity across locations, and scale output as deployment requirements change. One current rack program is produced at a rate of hundreds of units per month.
What other industries require manufacturing capabilities similar to data center infrastructure?
Many of the same fabrication capabilities used for data center infrastructure also support warehouse automation systems, where structural frames, enclosures, brackets, guarding, welded assemblies, and finished components must be produced consistently at scale. EVS also serves medical equipment, industrial machinery, transportation, electronics, and other OEM markets requiring precision fabrication, repeatable quality, finishing, and assembly.
