Unlocking Value in Birmingham’s Engineering Supply Chains
Across Birmingham and the wider UK manufacturing landscape, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are under constant pressure to optimise cost, quality, and speed. Whether you’re producing equipment housings, mechanical sub-assemblies, or internal spacers, plastic injection moulding is increasingly the go-to solution for industrial applications.
At Stephens Plastic Mouldings, we support industrial equipment manufacturers with repeatable, high-strength plastic components, delivered on time and manufactured under ISO 9001-certified processes. From early-stage prototyping to long-term supply contracts, we are a partner you can depend on.
Why Industrial Equipment OEMs Choose Injection Moulding
Dimensional Accuracy & Repeatability
Consistent part geometry is essential for modular builds and automation. Injection moulding ensures tight tolerances with zero variance across batches.
Material Performance
We mould parts in nylon (PA66), ABS, PBT, polypropylene, acetal, and glass-filled materials — ideal for strength, impact resistance, chemical exposure, and heat resilience.
Cost Efficiency at Volume
Once the tooling is created, injection moulding offers a low unit cost, making it ideal for high-volume or scheduled production environments.
Lightweight Alternative to Metal
Plastic parts reduce component weight without sacrificing performance, especially useful in dynamic or portable equipment.
Services Tailored to OEM Supply Chains
In-House Tooling Design
Our engineering team works with you to create robust tools that match your machine geometry, fit within your assembly process, and reduce wear.
DFM & CAD Optimisation
We advise on wall thickness, rib design, tolerances, draft angles and gating positions — helping improve mouldability and lifespan.
Flexible Production Volumes
Whether you’re a Birmingham-based startup or a global OEM, we support batch sizes from 100 to 500,000+ units.
Post-Mould Capabilities
