Consulting and design
More than just a supply
We are an automation engineering company that designs and builds electrical panels for complex automation systems.
No matter the country, region, industry, or hazardous area classification, we will deliver a fully compliant automation solution that meets all required standards.
We specialize in electrical distribution panels, providing safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure for many industries.
Electrical Panels & Cabinets
AE Partner is a manufacturer of high-quality automation systems, specializing in electrical panel and cabinet design and production.
From prototype to production – one standard
AE Partner designs, engineers, and assembles high-quality low-voltage electrical panels and automation cabinets for industrial, commercial, marine, and infrastructure applications worldwide. From high-volume production runs to one-of-a-kind prototype and demo projects, every assembly is carried out in accordance with the AE Partner Assembly Standard—a proven framework that has safeguarded the quality of our work for over a decade.
Complete control & power solutions
Our solutions include power distribution panels, motor control centres (MCCs), PLC cabinets, remote I/O cabinets, HMI stations, and integrated cabinets combining power distribution, motor control, PLC, and I/O functions within a single enclosure. All solutions are tailored to customer requirements and built to the highest industry standards.
Combining engineering expertise, flexibility, and advanced digital technologies such as Digital Twin, Cogeneer, and Print on Wires, we deliver reliable, efficient, and future-ready solutions in full compliance with IEC, UL, and ATEX standards.
Modular solution
All panel types are available as modular solutions — standardized, pre-engineered building blocks that can be quickly combined, expanded, or reconfigured to meet evolving project and operational requirements.
This modular approach reduces engineering lead times, simplifies spare parts management, minimizes downtime, and enables future capacity upgrades without complete panel replacement.
Customer-Specific Requirements
AE Partner has extensive experience working in accordance with customer-specific engineering standards, vendor requirements, and complex project specifications across industrial, energy, marine, and infrastructure sectors.
We deliver solutions for international operators, EPC contractors, and industrial clients, meeting stringent technical, documentation, and compliance requirements throughout all project phases.
Our engineering and automation capabilities support all major platforms, including Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, and Schneider EcoStruxure, while all testing and verification activities are performed in accordance with customer-defined FAT and SAT procedures.

Our Story
Customer Reviews
In our annual customer satisfaction survey, AE Partner achieved an NPS score of 66 points. Caljan — KD AUTOMATION ApS – Aasted APS Strategic Procurement Partner, Tom Kordt-Tronbjerg
What a big company! AE Partner premesis are well-built and beautiful, people tend to keep it that way. And AE Partner’s panels have always been beautiful. I’ve never been disappointed. Even if there’s a hitch, the team is quick to respond, open to feedback, and solution-oriented. That’s why I keep coming back.
AE Partner adapts to changes without impacting delivery timelines. Execution is reliable, and the work is done to the expected standard. More than 20 years of cooperation comes down to one thing — commitments are met. That creates stability and makes planning easier. A straightforward example of how long-term industrial partnerships should work.
AE Partner has never been the kind of partner that just meets expectations. Year after year, they’ve continued to raise their own standards. No matter how our production volumes fluctuate, we can always rely on their reliability, flexibility, and sense of responsibility.
Their transparency is reflected in the way they work – they photograph every device before installation, giving us a clear and accurate record every time. Combined with their global service and technical support, that same level of quality follows every device they work on, anywhere in the world.
In addition, AE Partner is highly responsive when it comes to new product development. Their experienced engineering team in Europe has extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing electrical control panels in compliance with UL standards for the U.S. market. This has been a significant advantage for our projects, helping to simplify certification, reduce development risks, and shorten time to market.
Another key benefit is the synergy created across different projects. By working closely together, we can introduce innovative components and materials at an early stage of development. AE Partner has also established an efficient material sourcing process by leveraging our global purchasing agreements. In our case, this is managed through the Caljan Group corporate procurement account, helping optimize both costs and supply chain efficiency.
