Machining Services

Batch sizes to suit your project needs, machined in house by our skilled engineers. We can produce small scale prototype 1-2 off work all the way through to production runs of typically 20,000 units. We have been trusted with over 25,000 different products ranging from less than 1mm to 1.5m in size. With a specialty in plastics machining and wealth of knowledge, we can accommodate tolerances design engineers normally reserve for metallic components.

We are keen to build long standing partnerships, and we have worked with many of our existing customers for more than 25 years. Up to date information on the latest plastics, coupled with the expertise and technical skills of its employees means Nylaplas can provide successful performance plastic solutions to the challenging problems of modern engineering. Send us your engineering drawings and we will produce quality components.
