Plastic Products International

We have always been proud of the quality behind everything we do at Plastic Products International. It was only when we were exhibiting our injection moulding and tooling capabilities at the

Engineering and Design Show where we had numerous enquiries asking if our products were indeed made in Britain. It was then we had a real “lightbulb moment.” That simple question made us realise how much it matters to customers to keep our manufacturing on home soil.

Putting our efforts into British manufacturing is not just a matter of national pride. It is about tapping into the wealth of talent and creativity found right on our doorstep. Britain has a rich history of engineering expertise and by working with local suppliers and other businesses, we are helping preserve these skills for generations to come. Collaboration is one of Team PPi’s main principles and we cannot imagine a better way to strengthen British industry than supporting others within it. There is a strong sense of camaraderie when you know you’re all in it together, driving forward the British manufacturing scene.

One of the biggest benefits of working within British industry is the flexibility it gives us. When our customers are located nearby, we can respond quickly to their design tweaks or shifting demands. That means fewer delays and a smoother process from idea to finished product. It also allows us to maintain tighter quality control. Customers being able to visit our site for a workshop tour or have a face-to-face conversation can make all the difference. And, of course, there is the reassurance that comes from knowing exactly where our materials come from and how they’re being handled.

We also can’t ignore the environmental advantage. By shortening the supply chain and reducing the distance our products have to travel, we cut down on emissions and do our bit for the planet. If we can produce top-notch products in Britain and look after the environment at the same time, that’s a win for everyone.

Here at Plastic Products International the committing to British manufacturing, or more accurately, doubling down on it has been a breath of fresh air. It is an exciting prospect as it assures our customers that “Made in Britain” isn’t just a label, it’s a promise of quality, attention to detail and genuine passion. We plan to uphold that promise for years to come. After all, the question “Are your products made in the UK?” doesn’t just deserve a “yes” it deserves a resounding, heartfelt “absolutely.”
