The well-known plastic injection moulding business, is set to invest in a further two moulding machines, adding to its collection of nine systems to date.
Since 2012, Pentagon Plastics has invested over £300,000 (€424,700) to grow its facilities, develop its product range and invest in vital machinery, resulting in a significant business growth.
"The cost of the works undertaken to date are close to £300,000 and we have not yet hit the finishing line! However every penny has already proved its worth as we see improvement in the flow of production, communication and staff welfare,” said Gabby Day, Business Development Coordinator.
Pentagon Plastics, winner of Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday, has been trading for 42 years and provides a full injection moulding service to a wide range of industries. Their services include design assistance, development, tool making, repeat production and post-moulding. All products are manufactured on site and are bespoke to customers, with an emphasis on technical moulding.
Pentagon Plastics made the decision in 2012 to grow its manufacturing facilities. The first major investment derived in a new £40,000 HURCO CNC machine, enhancing the companies’ production and production quality. This was quickly followed by a major transition to the production offices, allowing manufacturing and quality to be brought together in a dedicated office.
In Pentagons final stages of its investment programme, two moulding machines are set to be added to its current set of nine machines.
"Before adding to our mould machine collection we will consider the potential areas of business growth. This is to ensure we are supplying the right equipment to take us into the next 40 years," added Day.
"We have recently decided to invest a further £15,000 in a new CMM which will further enhance our dedicated quality system for our customers. Pentagons enthusiasm to build for the future remains un-wavered. We are dedicated to providing the very best service and to grow our market share, through continuous improvement and reinvestment."
