We identify exciting market opportunities, new customers, and innovative technologies to help grow your business in the moulding industry.
As one of the most versatile plastics processes, moulding serves a wide range of end markets with a vast array of products. In fact, most moulders now offer several services to capture a greater portion of the value chain.
The moulding process itself has also developed over the years. It now encapsulates in-mould decoration, component insertion, encapsulation and assembly.
Since 1986, we’ve been building a deep understanding of moulding, particularly injection moulding, and downstream demand trends. This means we can help you tap into market opportunities and innovative technologies that’ll enable business growth.
