Innovative. Reliable. Revolutionary.
As one the UK’s leading Vacuum Forming specialists, Plastic Mouldings Northern Ltd have over 150 years of combined experience in the supply of high quality and often very intricate moulded parts to an array of industries.
The ethos here at our Bishop Auckland based site is to supply top quality vacuum formed products at realistic and sustainable prices, with excellent customer service as standard. Working across a range of sectors from automotive and aerospace to the food industry, the experienced team have worked on projects with The London Underground, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, JCB, and BAE Systems.
The Vacuum Forming process itself involves manipulating rigid sheets of plastic into bespoke 3D moulded parts using a specific aluminium tool. Plastic Mouldings Northern’s continuous investment in machinery and tooling has been a real game changer at the site, enhancing capabilities for the most bespoke and intricate projects.
Freddy Bourdais, Co-Founder and Sales Director, Plastic Mouldings Northern Ltd said: “We are always innovating and staying ahead of the game in the industry, and our recent investment in two new Biesse 5 Axis CNC machines brings a host of further solutions to our capabilities. The 5 Axis CNC machine is a ground-breaking piece of kit with its large trimming size capacity of 4mx2m makes us quite unique within the industry.
We can vacuum form up to 3500 x 1500 mm in up to 15mm material thickness in a vast range of plastics, with a huge focus on recycled and recyclable plastics which perfectly aligns with our ethos as a returnable packaging specialist.”
Our 5 axis CNC machines use computeraided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to allow trimming of moulded parts to tight tolerance.
Recent investments take the total machinery on-site to seven Vacuum Forming and three 5 Axis CNC machines whist the site itself now spans three acres with 65,000 square feet of indoor storage – impressive machinery matched with the team’s unparalleled knowledge and experience makes PMN the go-to partner for vacuum forming.
