With a strong focus on innovation and efficiency, the company is reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for businesses requiring precision-engineered plastic components.
Advanced Vacuum Forming Technology
Manplas operates nine state-of-the-art vacuum-forming machines, enabling the production of both small and large components, with dimensions reaching up to 2400mm in length, 1150mm in width, and 650mm in depth.
Each machine is equipped with dual-heating platens, allowing for quicker cycle times and improved efficiency. This advanced technology enables the company to produce custom trays, pallets, bases, and lids, tailored to meet specific customer requirements across a range of industries. With the capability to handle medium batch runs, Manplas ensures a high level of flexibility while maintaining consistent quality.
Comprehensive Material Expertise
The company’s expertise extends to a diverse range of extruded plastics, available in multiple thicknesses, colours, and finishes. Manplas regularly processes materials such as ABS, polypropylene, HDPE, HIPS, polycarbonate, PETG, and acrylic-capped ABS, catering to various industrial and commercial applications.
In addition to conventional plastics, Manplas works with high-strength materials such as Boltaron and Kydex, further broadening its ability to manufacture durable and specialist components. With a commitment to sustainability, the company also offers 100% recycled material options, supporting environmentally responsible production without compromising on quality or performance.
Precision Tooling and Design Expertise
Manplas takes a comprehensive approach to product development, starting with expert CAD-assisted design and toolmaking. The company collaborates closely with customers to create optimised product designs that align with functional and budgetary requirements.
Tooling is carried out in partnership with approved toolmakers under strict quality control. Prototype tools allow for trial production runs, confirming functionality before final aluminium tooling is created. With quick-release tooling clamps and automated machine features, Manplas minimises changeover times, reducing costs for medium batch production.
Sustainable Manufacturing Initiatives
Sustainability remains a core focus for Manplas. The company’s in-house extrusion lines enable the efficient recycling of skeletal trimmings, significantly reducing waste. By reintegrating these materials into the production process, Manplas contributes to minimising landfill waste while delivering high-quality, eco-conscious products.
Additionally, the company’s vacuum-formed trays, racks, and dividers offer secure and protective solutions for goods in transit and storage, ensuring durability and reliability in various industries, including aerospace, retail, and electronics.
