Demystifying Box Build Assembly: A Closer Look at Turnkey Solutions for Complex Electronics

At GIC, we’re more than a PCB manufacturer—we’re your partner in delivering complete, ready-to-deploy electronic systems. Box Build Assembly with GIC, also known as systems integration is a turnkey solution that goes far beyond printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and allows you to streamline production, reduce vendor coordination, and bring products to market faster.

What Is Box Build , otherwise known as HLAs or High Level Assemblies?

Box Build Assembly is the final step in the electronics manufacturing process. It refers to the complete assembly of an electromechanical system into an enclosure. This process can include:

  • PCB installation
  • Wiring and cable harness assembly
  • Integration of subassemblies and mechanical components
  • Power supply and interface configuration
  • Final system testing
  • Enclosure fabrication and labeling

Depending on the complexity of your product, a box build may be as straightforward as placing a circuit board into a plastic case—or as involved as assembling a fully functional industrial control system with hundreds of components.

Why Outsource Your Box Build?

Handling system integration in-house can drain time, space, and resources. By trusting GIC with your box build needs, you gain:

  • Fewer Vendors, More Control: Consolidate multiple suppliers and processes into a single point of contact.
  • Faster Turnaround: Reduce lead times with a streamlined, vertically integrated process.
  • Improved Quality Assurance: Every unit undergoes rigorous testing at our facility before shipping.
  • Design Support: Our engineers work with you to optimize layout, enclosure materials, thermal management, and cable routing.
