Services
Plastic Injection Moulding
We produce precision plastic components using 20+ advanced injection moulding machines with capacities from 30 to 600 tonnes. Our capabilities include manufacturing parts weighing between a few grams and 2kg, with vertical machines for specialist insert jobs. This ensures versatility across industries while maintaining tight tolerances and surface finish quality.
Toolroom Services
Our in-house toolroom designs and maintains injection moulding tools at our UK facility. This vertical integration allows rapid modifications, full quality control, and adherence to best practices. CAD integration ensures precision engineering tailored to specific production requirements and material properties.
Product Design Consultation
We assist clients from concept to production, reviewing CAD files, 2D sketches, or verbal specifications. Our team advises on material selection, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency, offering 3D printed prototypes for validation before final tooling commitment.
3D Printing Prototypes
We create physical prototypes using 3D printing to validate designs before mass production. This reduces development risks and costs while allowing functional testing. The process supports iterative improvements aligned with client specifications and end-use requirements.
Assembly & Packaging
We provide full post-moulding services including component assembly, welding, custom printing, and packaging. This streamlines supply chains by delivering finished products ready for distribution, with options for branded labelling and logistics coordination.
