Yeah, I was gonna say Bison Profab.
There's also a company near us called Oriskany Arms that makes rack
mount fiber enclosures for Verizon.
http://www.oriskanyarms.com/
Their website is all about the M1911 pistols they make, but they're
owned by the same people as Fiber Instrument Sales, and located in the
same industrial complex....which is how they're in the enclosure
business. You won't see this stuff on their website, I just happen to
know because I heard about it while taking a factory tour.

My enclosure manufacturer for the rackmount injectors seems to be
AWOL. Lots of productive conversations back and forth over the past
few months, but now it comes time to actually finalize prints and
order the first batch, and well.. nothing. Evidently sending them a
finalized drawing and asking for instructions on how to get these
ordered is a good way to get them to quit responding.
I'm still hopeful that this is just a bump on the road (someone's on
vacation, they're backlogged, etc.), but this just isn't a good sign.
If anyone is aware of a supplier which can make 1U enclosures, in
reasonable quantities (50-100 at a time, not sure how many a year,
hopefully lots more than that), and most importantly at a reasonable
price, I'd appreciate the lead.
I'm reviewing all of the well-known enclosure manufacturers (Bud, OKW,
Hammond, Schroff, etc.) to see if I can fit into one of them and can
get them modified at a price which I think all of you can afford.
Past experience indicates to me that there is a good chance that this
isn't going to be productive, which is why I'm asking.
