The challenge

Meinberg needed a manufacturer to create a custom 1U rackmount appliance – one that not only carried their branding but also seamlessly integrated their hardware. In the past, they had been modifying standard servers, but these quick fixes weren’t cutting it. Frequent redesigns and short lifespans made it clear they needed a long-term solution. Their biggest requirement? A platform that would remain available for at least five years.

The solution

Our journey with Meinberg started with a deep dive into their brand and their specific needs.

Full-on customisation

We quickly realised that their past struggles – modifying off-the-shelf servers weren’t sustainable. So, we got to work, designing a custom server solution built around Meinberg’s own network cards and a meticulously planned bill of materials (BOM) that would guarantee platform availability for a minimum of five

Custom branding

Branding was a priority, and we made sure every system reflected Meinberg’s identity. By collaborating with their marketing team, we designed a custom chassis that showcases their branding with a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Eco-friendly packaging

Packaging matters too, so we created fully branded, eco-friendly packaging that aligns with Meinberg’s sustainability goals. We eliminated foam as per their request, replacing it with custom-fit, fully recyclable cartons that protect each server without harming the planet.

The Results

With a long-term, reliable solution in place, Meinberg now has the consistency they need – without the hassle of constant redesigns.

“Being a contracted manufacturer for Meinberg entails certain challenges. As a manufacturer in our own right, we have a reputation of excellence for the outstanding quality and reliability of our products, and so we can expect no less of our upstream suppliers. This is especially true when a supplier is contracted to construct a complete system for us, as we must ensure that our standards are met in every single respect and detail.

Our partners at Exacta were more than up to the challenge—they’ve designed and assembled a high-end, premium-grade, Meinberg-branded product that we are more than happy to stake our name on with our customers. This partnership has been magnificent. Discussions have always been open, frank, and incredibly constructive, and the result is a Meinberg product that we are all incredibly proud of.”
