At Plas-Tech, we specialise in the production of high-quality vacuum-formed plastic components using our state-of-the-art equipment and extensive experience. Our 132-hour operating week, spanning Monday to Thursday 24 hours with a full 36-hour shift on weekends, ensures we meet the demands of our customers, never leaving them without the parts they require.

 

Our four vacuum forming machines, capable of moulding up to 2.4 x 1.4 metres, cater to a wide range of applications, from low-to-high volume production. We currently handle annual production runs from 200 pieces per annum to over 40,000 pieces per annum for specific components.

 

Focusing on heavy-gauge vacuum forming, we handle sheet thickness starting from 1.5mm to 8mm extruded sheet. Our most prominent market sector lies in manufacturing exterior or interior automotive and off-highway vehicle body panels, coverings, shower trays, demanding intricate details and robust construction.

 

Our in-house tooling capabilities include a complete aluminium machining centre capable of processing billets over 1500 mm in length. We handle all machining, jig, and pattern-making in-house, ensuring seamless integration and control over the process. Additionally, we can produce external casting tools upwards of 2.4 metres in length.

 

To expedite the tooling process, we offer full Ureol prototyping in-house. This cost-effective and rapid turnaround option proves invaluable when urgent or new tooling is required. Our control over tool manufacture allows us to flexibly accommodate your needs.
