The 'Crush-Fold' technology is a novel and innovative construction technique that provides a cost effective, high level of mechanical strength and a superior EMC seal from a lightweight structure. 'Crush-Fold' allows commercial grade material usually 2mm thick to be used in more rugged applications that would normally require 3mm thick material.

A secondary benefit is the reduction in the required number of fasteners to secure the two material faces together, thus allowing easy access for maintenance purposes. This is achieved as the 'Crush-Fold' itself provides the mechanical strength while the fasteners are only required to hold the panels into place in relation to each other.

The ‘Crush-Fold’ technology is now incorporated in many of Elma-Mektron’ commercial and military grade enclosures supplied to customers who demand the highest standards of EMI shielding.

Every Elma-Mektron solution is designed from day one in accordance with proven good EMC practice.

Elma-Mektron has world-wide patent protection for its innovative ‘Crush-Fold’ technology construction technique, patent no. 9721660.0.
