AE – Optimum surface finish

The three-phase surface finish of the AE compact enclosures promises optimum corrosion protection and is resistant to mineral oils, lubricants, machining emulsions and solvents such as those used in cleaning. Rittal is the only enclosure manufacturer which offers paint quality comparable to that of the automobile industry as standard. Quality is ensured by continuous process monitoring.


Maximum quality is achieved in three stages:
  • 1st phase: Nanoceramic primer
  • 2nd phase: Electrophoretic dipcoat-priming
  • 3rd phase: Textured powder-coating

AE – Series manufacturing

Each day, Rittal manufactures around 5,500 AE compact enclosures. Stacked on top of one another, they would be around seven times taller than the Eiffel Tower. These impressive numbers represent the basis for essential characteristic benefits.

  • Constant quality thanks to an automated manufacturing process
  • Practically unrestricted availability of series products
  • Fast response times to high demand

AE – Tested quality

This stands for consistent quality management and on-going refinements to products, services and internal processes. All processes are continuously refined by quality control groups, and reviewed during in-house audits. Each year, our improvements and high standards are verified by countless successful external audits.
