We certainly look different today from when the company first started out injection moulding in 1956. Expansion has continued on the same site and the factory area now exceeds 5550 square metres. We employ over 130 staff, with a turnover in excess of £14 million. As part of our website refresh, we decided to take some 360 images of our site to allow our customers, suppliers and neighbours a look inside Rutland Plastics.

Rutland Plastics started out as a toy manufacturer back in 1956 but quickly evolved to become a custom injection moulder. Custom moulding incorporates the whole moulding process adding expertise, experience and knowledge at every stage. From the initial design stage, we ensure that the part is optimised for injection moulding. All through this process we share our expertise with customers and together we optimise the choice of plastic material, physical shape, ease of production, cost and performance. We believe in working in partnership, acting as an extension of your own technical department and in this way we can find the best injection moulding solution.
In addition to custom moulding we also provide a rapid prototyping and 3D-printing service which enables customers to produce the final manufactured product so that form, fit and function can be accurately tested, the results of which can be fed back into the design stage.
The result of custom moulding is an optimised end product which maximises both cost efficiency and product performance.
