When choosing a prefab enclosure company, there are a number of important factors to consider. At Fibrebond, our goal is to excel in each of these areas in order to build innovative and reliable structures that protect people and mission-critical equipment. Let’s take a look at how we set ourselves apart.

Experience: Fibrebond was founded by Claud Walker and his partners in 1982 and is still family-owned today. For 36 years, our company has remained a sophisticated, cutting-edge manufacturer of enclosures for telecom equipment, data centers and power generators.

Design capabilities: Our standard turnaround for fully-customized designs is just four weeks, including a detailed Bill of Materials (BOM). And once designs are approved by the customer, Fibrebond’s building plans are sent to a third-party engineering firm for State Approval stamping, removing the risk of delays due to local AHJ inspections.

Quality: We foster a company culture of continuous improvement. To ensure customers are receiving a quality product, inspections are performed at each stage of production prior to a structure moving on to the next phase, tracked by a quality traveler. If any issues are found, they can be traced to the original source, analyzed and improved upon before moving forward.

Customer Service: At Fibrebond, our employees go above and beyond to assure our customers are delighted with each and every product. We operate using a team structure. Each project manager is paired with a designer that tackles projects collectively. We empower our team leaders to make decisions so they can move quickly and get things done.

Consistency: Although we manufacture customized structures, we follow standardized manufacturing methods to streamline our process and deliver high-quality products. Fibrebond’s prefab construction method dramatically reduces cost and eases completion in comparison to on-site construction.

Facilities: After a fire destroyed our original manufacturing facility in 1998, Fibrebond opened a new plant the following year with advanced European concrete processing equipment. In 2014, we purchased an adjacent facility and converted it into a structural steel production facility to create more than 500,000 square feet of production space on 180 contiguous acres in Minden, Louisiana. Our expansion continued in 2015 when we acquired the assets of a Genset enclosure manufacturer in Edelstein, Illinois.

Production Capability: With our two locations and the scale of those operations, we have the greatest production capabilities and logistical network available to meet the demands of high-volume orders and tight construction timelines.

Material Capability: We’re the only enclosure manufacturer with the capability to manufacture using precast concrete, steel and any combination of the two. The options we provide our customers empower them to choose the most cost-effective solution for their unique project.

Competitive Prices: Quality can be expensive, so our purchasing team stays on top of material costs and works closely with long-time vendors to negotiate the very best prices. And we are continually reviewing and improving our internal pricing tool to find more ways to save our customers money.

Packaging robots can beat labor long term on cost, PMMI argues

Packaging robots can beat labor long term on cost, PMMI argues

PMMI's Tom Egan wrote in Processing Magazine that adding packaging automation and robotics can now be justified as more cost-effective over the long term than the high cost of labor in food, beverage and CPG plants. Separately, Packaging World describes AI-enabled AMRs from ABB and Agilox that automate material movement between packaging stations. The remaining gap is adoption among smaller manufacturers.

  • 01Two reference points for infrastructure-light material movement: ABB's Flexley Mover P603 carries 1,500 kg with sub-centimeter positioning and no floor markers, and Agilox's OFL lifts 800 kg pallets on peer-to-peer fleet software with no central traffic controller, per Packaging World.
  • 02The open ground is small and mid-sized manufacturers: MTC's Mike Wilson counts tens of thousands of UK SMEs with no robotic automation at all and expects cobots to take most of that growth.
  • 03A robotics business case should include procurement, not only line labor: a June 2026 China Journal of Accounting Research study found heavy robot adopters spread buying across more suppliers, gaining resilience but losing inventory efficiency and adding transaction costs.

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio launched a two-tier telematics platform in March 2026: 32 battery-powered Xense sensors for small tools and wired Pro-Xentral devices for excavators, light towers and heaters. The company claims a 10-year battery life. Data is delivered through open APIs, which Xtellio frames as customer ownership of the data, aimed at rental and construction fleets where small assets have gone largely untracked.

  • 01Xtellio’s stated 10-year battery life for its Bluetooth Xense sensors is the key spec to test in the field; if it holds up, tagging hundreds of tools can look like a one-time install rather than a recurring battery-maintenance program.
  • 02For rental houses and contractors running mixed fleets, the sharper question is no longer which machines have telematics but whether the heaters, light towers and hand tools do, and whether that data lands in the same system.
  • 03Open APIs and “data liberation” are part of Xtellio’s pitch, and the coverage frames that as a prompt for RFP questions: what the APIs expose, where data can be sent, and whether customers can take historical data if they switch providers.

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

S. 2388, the Water Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2025, would double an EPA water tech pilot to $50 million a year through 2028. Grants would cover design, construction, training and operations for leak detection, advanced metering and AI analytics, WaterWorld reported. Planning and maintenance stay on the utility's tab.

  • 01Under S. 2388 as WaterWorld describes it, feasibility studies are not grant-eligible, so a utility would have to pay to build the case for a smart water project before applying for help building the project itself.
  • 02The bill's eligible list puts advanced digital design and construction management tools in the same bucket as meters and sensors, which would give a utility's capital delivery team a claim on the same grant as its field operations group.
  • 03The existing pilot program's authorization runs through 2026, per WaterWorld; the bill would extend it to 2028, and its last reported status was 'introduced' as of Aug. 12, 2025.
