Our Values
Efficiency is our core component of performance. It involves optimising the use of resources, including time, materials, and labour, to achieve the maximum output with minimal waste.
Key strategies to enhance efficiency include:
Lean Manufacturing: Implementing lean principles to eliminate waste and streamline processes.
Automation: Using technology to automate repetitive tasks, reducing human error and increasing speed.
Process Improvement:Continuously analysing and improving production processes to reduce bottlenecks and enhance throughput.
High performance in production is often measured by the quality of the output.
Ensuring high quality involves:
Quality Control: Implementing rigorous testing and inspection procedures to ensure products meet specified standards.
Quality Assurance: Developing systems and processes that prevent defects and ensure consistency.
Continuous Improvement: Using methodologies such as Kaizen to systematically improve quality and reduce variability in production.Balancing performance with cost is crucial. High performance should not come at an unsustainable expense.
Cost-effectiveness can be achieved by:
Resource Management: Efficiently managing raw materials and minimising waste.
Energy Efficiency: Reducing energy consumption through efficient technologies and processes.
Economies of Scale: Optimising production volumes to spread costs over larger outputs.Reliable production processes are essential for maintaining high performance. Reliability ensures that production can consistently meet demand without unexpected downtime or delays.
This involves:
Preventive Maintenance: Regularly maintaining equipment to prevent breakdowns and extend lifespan.
Redundancy: Having backup systems and components to ensure continuity in case of failure.
Training: Ensuring staff are well-trained to operate equipment and handle issues promptly.
Our Facilities
Our technical team, along with our partners; design and manufacture tooling for a wide range of rubber components, from single cavities for prototypes to multi-cavity tools for high-volume production.
We specialise in:
Compression Moulding, Transfer Moulding, Corner Moulding, Jointing of Extrusions and Injection Moulding - Thermoset Rubber, TPE.
We accept CAD data in various formats and use the latest CAD/CAM software, CNC, and 5-axis machine tools to create precise tools. Our capabilities include reverse engineering for parts without existing drawings or CAD data.
We specialise in Compression Moulding, Transfer Moulding, Corner Moulding, Jointing of Extrusions, and Injection Moulding as key processes in our production of high-quality rubber and TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) products for various industries.
Compression Moulding: Involves placing a pre-measured amount of rubber or TPE into a heated mould cavity, then applying pressure to shape the material. Ideal for producing durable, high-volume parts.
Transfer Moulding: Combines compression and injection moulding. Rubber is preheated in a transfer pot and then forced into the mould cavity. Suitable for complex shapes and finer details, making it suitable for electronic components, seals and intricate industrial parts.
Corner Moulding: Used for creating seamless, reinforced corners in rubber products. Ensuring durability and integrity in applications requiring sharp angles, essential for construction and automotive industries.
Jointing of Extrusions: Involves joining rubber extrusions to form continuous lengths or custom shapes. Providing strong, reliable seals for various applications such as gasket production and sealing solutions.
Injection Moulding: Thermoset Rubber and TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) are injected into a mould under high pressure. This method is highly efficient for producing complex and precision parts with excellent consistency.
These advanced techniques ensure our rubber products meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory testing facilities are designed to simulate real-world conditions, ensuring our products meet the highest standards of performance and durability.
With cutting-edge technology and rigorous testing protocols, we can accurately replicate in-service use, providing you with reliable and robust solutions tailored to your needs.
We employ a comprehensive finishing process to ensure our products are ready for delivery to clients in perfect condition.
Painting: After moulding, each product undergoes a meticulous painting process. We use high-quality, durable paints that are specifically formulated for rubber materials, ensuring excellent adhesion and long-lasting protection against environmental factors.
Inspection and Quality Control: Post-painting, every product is thoroughly inspected for defects, paint consistency, and adherence to specifications. Our quality control team conducts rigorous testing to ensure that each item meets our high standards of durability and performance.
Preparation for Transport: Once approved, the products are carefully prepped for transport. This includes cleaning to remove any debris or contaminants and packaging to protect against damage during transit.
Logistics Coordination: Our logistics team coordinates the transportation process, selecting the most reliable carriers and optimising routes to ensure timely delivery.
Final Delivery: Upon reaching the client, our products are ready for immediate use, having been painted, inspected, and securely packaged.This meticulous finishing process ensures that our clients receive high-quality rubber moulded products that are prepared to meet their specific needs.
Our rubber moulding company leverages its Continuous Improvement Center to embody the Kaizen ideology. Kaizen, a Japanese term meaning "change for the better," which drives our commitment to ongoing improvements in all aspects of our operations.
Using Kaizen, we systematically evaluate our moulding processes, from raw material handling to final product finishing. By breaking down each step, we identify waste, streamline workflows, and enhance productivity without compromising quality.
We focus on small, incremental changes that enhance efficiency, quality, and productivity. Our team regularly evaluates processes, identifies areas for improvement, and implements innovative solutions.
This approach fosters a culture of constant improvement, employee engagement, operational excellence and ensures we consistently evaluate performance metrics, employee involvement and deliver superior rubber moulded products to our clients.
