Investing In Injection Moulding Processes Can Lead To The Recovery Of The UK Manufacturing Industry
The global recession has taken hit the UK manufacturing sector extremely hard.Already reeling from the effects of the cheaper manufacturing capabilities of emerging economies such as China and Eastern Europe, the economic downturn could not have come at a worse time. Nearly all areas of UK manufacturing, from construction to automotive, have been hit by the recession.
However it is not all doom and gloom. There are opportunities for UK manufacturers to differentiate themselves from overseas competition by adding real value to customers.
Whenever there are hurdles, there are also opportunities that exist. It requires strategic thinking, forward planning and wholehearted commitment.
One area where the UK can add real value is on a global scale is highly skilled, advanced manufacturing such as injection moulding. Injection moulding is one of the most important processes in manufacturing that exists today. It helps to produce large quantities of items that we use in our everyday life.
Small products as stationary, toys, containers, disposable razors and many more are in existence today due to injection moulding. It is also used to manufacture larger items such as wheeled bins and crates.
MGB Plastics, the UK’s leading manufacturer of wheelie bins, has used the challenges presented by the current economic situation to create a strategy aimed at adding value to its clients. Being adaptable and responding to customer needs is being seen by the consumer as key to its immediate and long-term success.
Investing in its manufacturing processes such as injection moulding is part of the ongoing commitment by MGB Plastics.
It recently acquired a 2350T Husky injection moulding machine which gives MGB Plastics one of the largest selection of large tonnage injection moulding machines in the UK. This will increase the manufacturing capacity of its site at Rotherham to 1.5 million wheeled bins per annum making MGB Plastics the largest manufacturer of wheeled bins in the UK.
The addition of a further large tonnage injection moulding machine demonstrates MGB’s commitment to being the UK’s largest manufacturer of wheeled bins. Not only does it increase our manufacturing capacity but it also allows the business to respond quicker to customer requirements as well as providing the most competitive wheeled bin prices in the UK market.
As UK manufacturing gradually makes progress from the recession there are opportunities available to UK manufacturers to take advantage of the recovery. The increased appetite for manufacturing investment in processes such as injection moulding will play a big part in aiding the UK recovery. Businesses like MGB Plastics are already showing that embracing the challenges of the current economic climate can lead to success.
