Vacuum Forming Specialist
For Global Supply
We specialise in plastic component manufacturing using advanced vacuum forming and thermoforming processes, applying controlled heat and vacuum to shape precision components from a single sheet of thermoplastic material. This highly efficient and repeatable process allows us to deliver high-quality, cost-effective parts to customers across the UK and Europe.
By focusing on thermoforming as our core manufacturing discipline, we have developed deep technical expertise in material behaviour, tooling performance and process control. Combined with investment in advanced forming and precision CNC trimming technology, this allows us to consistently manufacture components that meet demanding dimensional, cosmetic and functional requirements across a wide range of industries.
With decades of experience supporting sectors including specialist lighting, automotive, industrial and technical applications, we understand the realities of production environments. Customers trust us not only for the quality of the parts we manufacture, but for the practical engineering support, manufacturing advice and collaborative approach we bring to every project — from early design and development through to stable, repeatable production supply.
Working from our European manufacturing base and supported by UK customer and technical teams, we provide reliable, scalable supply solutions for customers ranging from innovative specialist manufacturers to Tier suppliers and OEM production programmes.
Core Processes
Development
From your design, we turn concepts into production ready components quickly and efficiently. Through low cost prototyping and validation we help prove form, fit, and function early. This approach reduces risk, speeds decision making, and supports a quicker time to market without compromising quality. We offer design for manufacture (DfM) feedback to all prospective clients.
Tool Making
We engineer tooling for long-term performance. Whether you need prototype speed or multi-year production durability, our tooling strategy is built around total lifecycle value, ensuring consistent quality, repeatable output, and maximum performance from our thermoforming platforms.
Vacuum Forming
Thermoforming is our core business and our competitive advantage. With specialist expertise, advanced machinery, and highly skilled operators, we deliver precision mouldings from small batch specialist components to high-volume OEM production with absolute consistency.
CNC Trimming
Complex geometry demands absolute accuracy. Our portfolio of CNC machines provides broad technical capability, allowing us to select the optimal machining solution for each component based on size, geometry and tolerance requirements. This versatility ensures consistent dimensional accuracy and cosmetic quality, supporting industries where precision, repeatability and finish quality are essential.
Polyurethane Foaming
Where products require strength, insulation or structural performance, our foaming capability adds value without adding weight. The result is integrated components that simplify downstream assembly and improve overall product performance.This is particularly valuable in refrigeration applications, where thermal efficiency, structural stability, and consistent insulation performance are critical.
Assembly & Finishing
From bonded assemblies to complex sub-assemblies, we deliver fully finished products ready for immediate integration into your production line. This includes the integration of components such as inserts and fixings, or your free-issue parts allowing us to supply complete assemblies. Our focus is simple: reduce internal handling, reduce risk, and simplify your supply chain.
