Why U.S.-Built Projection Enclosures Help You Avoid Tariff Surprises

Why U.S.-Built Projection Enclosures Help You Avoid Tariff Surprises

Many AV integrators sourcing projection enclosures from overseas suppliers face unexpected fees, long delays, and quality inconsistencies — especially when outdoor performance is critical.

At SSI, we manufacture our enclosures right here in the U.S. — built to spec, built fast, and built without import fees.

Here’s why that matters for your next AV install:Outdoor projection enclosure manufactured by SSI, shown in use at a public AV installation with a projected image and triple-locking design


✅ 1. No Import Tariffs or International Freight

Most imported AV enclosures are subject to:

  • Tariffs on aluminum or steel

  • Customs processing fees

  • Expensive international shipping and duties

Our projection enclosures are fabricated in California and ship tariff-free across the U.S. — saving you from those surprise costs.


✅ 2. Built to Spec for Real AV Applications

Our outdoor projection enclosures are designed specifically for:

  • High-brightness projectors

  • Outdoor signage & architectural mapping

  • Theme parks, museums, commercial displays

We offer:

  • Triple-locking systems

  • Weather-sealed gaskets

  • Internal ventilation or climate control

  • Mounting points for screens and surfaces

When you need an enclosure that actually fits your projector — and stands up to the environment — we build it here, not guess at it overseas.


✅ 3. Faster Timelines for Integration

Importing enclosures can take weeks or months — especially if you need a custom size or feature set.

SSI can:

  • Turn around custom enclosure orders in days

  • Ship directly to site

  • Make last-minute changes before it leaves the shop

That keeps your schedule moving and your install on track.


✅ 4. Consistent Quality = Less Rework

With domestic fabrication, you’re not rolling the dice on material thickness, weld quality, or design accuracy.

Every SSI enclosure is:

  • Fabricated by AV specialists

  • Made to exact dimensions

  • Tested before it leaves the building


💬 SSI Insight:
“Our outdoor enclosures aren’t imported off-the-shelf boxes — they’re precision-fabricated tools built for the real demands of permanent AV.”
