Custom Plastic Parts
Where our plastic parts line makes a defined part, this line starts earlier, from a requirement rather than a finished drawing.

Plastic Parts
We have three plastic production suppliers, and we handle the inquiry, the quality control and the delivery supervision ourselves. That is the whole proposition: you get plastic parts without adding three more vendor relationships, and without doing quality follow up from another country. Where the same assembly also needs rubber parts, both arrive together.

Why It Wins
Key Benefits
- Three plastic production suppliers accessed through one relationship
- Inquiry quality control and delivery supervision handled by us
- Plastic and rubber parts of one assembly quoted and shipped together
- Parts designed and made to your exact specification
- Lightweight components with durability suited to the application
The Brief
Problems It Solves
- Rubber and plastic parts of one assembly arriving on different lead times
- Quality follow up at a plastic supplier conducted remotely and ineffectively
- Three more vendor relationships for a handful of parts
- Parts that are close to the drawing rather than to specification
Audience
Who It Is For
- Assembly builders sourcing rubber and plastic parts for one product
- Buyers who do not want to manage plastic vendors directly
- Design engineers needing parts made to exact specification
- Companies consolidating a fragmented supplier list
In Service
Application Scenarios
- Automotive interior and under bonnet plastic components
- Electronics housings and internal plastic parts
- Appliance components supplied with their rubber seals
- Hollow components produced by blow moulding

- Blow moulded parts for hollow objects
- Assembly operations where the part requires them
- Designed and crafted to the exact specification of the project
How We Check
Quality Control
- Inquiry and specification handled by us rather than passed through
- Quality control carried out at the plastic supplier by our own staff
- Delivery supervised rather than self reported by the supplier
- Parts checked against the approved sample before shipment
Made to Order
Customisation Options
- Parts designed and made to your exact specification
- Injection or blow moulding according to the geometry
- Supplied together with the rubber parts of the same assembly
- Assembly operations included where needed
Honest Comparison
Where This Is the Right Choice and Where It Is Not
Compared With Buying direct from a plastic factory
Direct is cheaper on paper until you count the cost of doing quality follow up remotely. We do that part.
Compared With Custom Plastic Parts
This line covers parts to a defined specification. Where the design still needs developing, our custom plastic parts line is the better entry point.
Compared With Metal parts
Plastic is lighter and cheaper at volume, and gives up stiffness and temperature range. We will say where metal is the better answer.
Use Guide
How to Specify and Order This Part
Send the drawing or 3D data with the material specification
State the annual volume so tooling and supplier can be matched
Tell us which rubber parts belong to the same assembly
Approve a physical sample before series production
Agree packing and labelling before the first shipment

Silicone Hot Water Bags
A hot water bag is a consumer product where the closure is the whole safety argument, which makes it a different sourcing problem from an industrial rubber part.

Compression Transfer and Injection Moulding for Rubber Parts
The moulding process decides tooling cost, cycle time and how much detail a part can carry. Choosing it is a commercial decision as much as a technical one.

Plastic Parts Questions
Do you make the plastic parts yourselves?
No, and we would rather be straight about it. We work with three plastic production suppliers and provide the inquiry, quality control and delivery supervision.
Why not go direct to a plastic factory?
You can. The reason customers do not is that quality follow up and delivery chasing from another country costs more than it saves.
Can you supply plastic and rubber parts together?
Yes. That is the main reason this line exists alongside our rubber production.
What processes are available?
Injection moulding for solid parts, blow moulding for hollow ones, and assembly where the part needs it.
What do you need to quote?
A drawing or 3D data, the material, and the annual quantity.
How quickly do you respond?
Within one working day.
