Plastic Tanks
We manufacture custom plastic tanks up to 50,000 cubic meters with chemical-resistant polypropylene. Our BS-EN compliant designs include UV stabilisation and optional steel reinforcement. Clients benefit from integrated fittings like manway hatches and level indicators, with all units undergoing water and spark testing before dispatch.
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services handle plastic sheets up to 3050mm x 2050mm with routing, milling, and engraving capabilities. We advise on material selection for optimal performance, supporting both prototype development and large-scale production runs while maintaining tight tolerances.
Van Linings
We provide durable, non-slip van linings with waterproof flooring and chemical-resistant panels. Custom storage solutions include integrated tanks with secure anchoring systems and specialist features like ladder racks and equipment mounting boards for commercial vehicles.
Water Treatment
Our water treatment solutions feature polypropylene fabrication for chemical dosing cabinets and filtration systems. The material's food-grade compliance and high impact strength make it ideal for swimming pool infrastructure and pharmaceutical industry applications.
Machine Guards
We produce food-grade plastic guards using materials like UHMWPE and PTFE that meet safety regulations. These non-reactive barriers protect equipment and personnel while maintaining compliance with food safety standards in processing environments.
