MGS invests £400,000 to boost injection moulding capacity

Blackburn-based moulding specialist MGS Technical Plastics has increased both capacity and capability with the purchase of two new injection moulding machines.

Included in the purchase are four new Sepro robots to help operate the machines and improve shopfloor efficiencies, bringing the total investment to £400,000.

"As well as extra capacity and more flexible working, the new machinery increases our automation, which means we can work more efficiently and meet the ever increasing demands from our customers."

MGS has already begun its next phase of investment, increasing the size of its premises before investing in a material feed system for the machines, which will go in the extension. Garrity added: "In line with our growth strategy we've invested to improve efficiencies and provide our customers with a service that's beyond their expectations. We're investing in the business and we're all really proud of what we are building here."
