Plastic Injection Moulding Company - Insert moulding manufacturer

A Guide for Engineers, Buyers & OEMs

Choosing a plastic injection moulding company isn’t just about finding someone who can shape plastic. It’s about securing a strategic partner who offers technical expertise, quality control, advanced infrastructure, and unwavering reliability across every production run.

At Stephens Plastic Mouldings, we help customers across the UK – from Birmingham to Bristol, Cardiff to Cambridge – bring their plastic products to life with confidence, speed, and engineering precision.
 

Why Facilities and Ancillary Equipment Matter

A good injection moulding company invests in more than machines – it invests in performance infrastructure.

Our production floor features a fleet of high-precision injection moulding machines (25T to 470T), but what makes our results exceptional is the ancillary equipment that supports the process:

1. Hopper Loaders

Automatically feed materials into the machine to ensure uninterrupted cycles.

2. Granulators

Reprocess runners and reject parts for cost-effective, sustainable moulding.

3. Temperature Controllers

Maintain thermal stability across machine circuits, ensuring perfect parts every time.

These ancillaries are not secondary – they are mission-critical to maintaining cycle time efficiency, part consistency, and material integrity.
