There are two ways to sell into a museum: sell the whole interior, or sell the exhibits inside it. We chose the second, and we have stayed with it since 2020. This page explains what that choice changes — for the price you pay, the date you get, and the machine your visitors will still be using in five years.
| Standard models | 2,066 catalogue units with fixed drawings, control packages and lead times. |
|---|---|
| Custom builds | Exhibits developed to a theme, a space and an age group. |
| OEM | Contract manufacturing to your drawings, or to a sample. |
| Installation | Engineers on site for positioning, commissioning and staff handover. |
| Spare parts | Documented part numbers and a starter kit with every order. |
| Fit-out contracting | Ceilings, floors, lighting rigs, graphics and joinery packages. |
|---|---|
| Operations | Running venues, ticketing, staffing, education programmes. |
| Consulting | Feasibility studies, business plans, funding applications. |
| Content production | Film, animation and interactive media produced as a standalone service. |
If your project needs any of the above, we will say so at enquiry stage and, where we can, point you to partners who do it. We would rather lose the package than subcontract work we do not control.
Focus is not a slogan. It changes the cost structure, the engineering habit and the kind of order we can accept.
We do not carry a fit-out division, a site-management layer or a design consultancy. Structure, sheet metal, acrylic and control cabinets are made in-house. The quotation contains the exhibit and the work needed to make it — not a share of someone else's overhead.
When a catalogue model fits, we quote the catalogue model. The drawing already exists, the jigs already exist, the control code has already been debugged. That is where the price advantage and the short lead time come from — not from cheaper materials.
Everything we know is about exhibits: mechanisms, sensing, wear, access, tolerances, how a five-year-old and a fifteen-year-old break the same handle in different ways. This is the only thing the team has done, and it is why a design review catches problems before steel is cut.
A one-unit order costs us no extra process, so we accept it. Small science centres, schools, libraries, hotel lobbies and contractors buying a sample all order from us. Most manufacturers of our size cannot say that.
Three things keep our price down, and none of them is a shortcut in the material:
| Volume | We buy steel, sheet, acrylic and control components against a rolling production plan, not against single orders. |
|---|---|
| Reuse | Mechanisms, control boards and fittings are shared across models, so tooling and programming cost is spread over hundreds of units. |
| No layers | Nothing is subcontracted to a workshop that adds its own margin before the exhibit reaches you. |
If a competitor quotes materially less for the same drawing, we will tell you where the difference probably is: thinner sheet, a cheaper drive, fewer test cycles, or a different scope. We would rather you compared properly than won on price and lost on the second year.
Opening day is a photograph. The other 3,000 days are the product. Four habits follow from that:
Every handle, bearing, sensor and printed panel is a replaceable module, listed on the drawing.
Full power-up, a run cycle and a fault log that travels with the machine.
Panels open with one tool; cabinets are reachable without dismantling the exhibit.
Consumables and one of each critical module, so a fault does not wait for a shipment.
We are not the largest exhibit factory, and we do not claim to be. We are a focused one: 2,066 models, four in-house processes, one product line, and a price that comes from that structure rather than from a discount. If that is the supplier you need, we are easy to work with. If you need a turnkey contractor, we will tell you honestly that it is not us.
Attach a theme outline, a floor plan, or nothing at all — a photo of the space is enough to start. Quotations are issued against real drawings, not per-square-metre guesses.
