Injection Moulding
We specialise in precision plastic injection moulding for industries ranging from construction to electronics. Our capabilities include fully and semi-automatic production, insert moulding, and prototype tools. With machinery ranging from 18T to 110T, we deliver high-quality components with rapid turnaround times, ensuring flexibility for both low-volume trials and large-scale manufacturing.
Toolmaking
Our in-house toolroom designs and maintains precision mould tools tailored to client specifications. We offer single to multi-impression cavities, side cores, and sleeve ejection systems. By collaborating closely with clients during the design phase, we minimise costs and ensure durability, providing free routine maintenance for tools used in our facilities.
Pad Printing
We apply high-precision 2D images to 3D plastic components using advanced pad printing techniques. This service ensures durable, high-quality branding or instructional markings on finished products, enhancing both aesthetic and functional value for clients across diverse sectors.

Report
I cannot recommend Maclan highly enough. They took our UdderLok prototype and got us to a perfect working injection moulded version in one go. Superb engineers and great customer service with highly competitive prices.
