Plastic Injection Moulding

High volume, high quality and cost effective

Bespoke components produced using plastic injection moulding give you complete freedom to design the part you actually need, not the part you’re forced to accept. Off the shelf components often require design compromises, additional machining, or awkward assembly workarounds. Your product is built around your design, not limited by someone else’s.

Why use injection moulding?

Injection moulding is the preferred solution when performance, scale, and consistency matter.

Design freedom – geometry, features and material choices tailored to your application

Scalable production – Ideal for medium to very high-volume manufacturing, with extremely low cost per part once tooling is established.

Consistency — repeatable, high precision components from the first shot to the millionth

Material flexibility – a wide range of engineering-grade thermoplastics can be used depending on application needs.

Cost efficiency — dramatically lower part costs compared with CNC machining from solid plastic.

Competitive Tooling & Component Pricing

Through our long term strategic manufacturing partners in Asia (accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and IATF 16949) Gelec offers highly competitive tooling and component pricing without compromising quality. Our partners specialise in precision tooling, multi cavity moulds, complex geometries and tight tolerances, enabling cost effective production at any scale.

We also provide a full suite of value added services, including:

  • Printing (pad, screen, digital)
  • Painting and surface finishing
  • Post processing such as ultrasonic welding, tapping, trimming and coating
  • Sub assembly for ready to use components

This integrated approach reduces supplier count, shortens lead times and ensures consistent quality across every stage of manufacture.

Project Management You Can Rely On

Every project is assigned a dedicated Project Manager at Gelec UK, providing:

  • Regular progress updates
  • Clear communication
  • Technical support throughout design, tooling and production
  • On time delivery backed by structured project control

This gives you the reassurance of UK based communication while benefiting from Far East manufacturing efficiency.

Applications

Injection moulding is used across a wide range of industries where durability and consistency are essential:

  • Industrial enclosures and housings
  • Electronic components and assemblies
  • Automotive interior and functional parts
  • Medical device components
  • Custom engineered plastic parts

If you need a repeatable component at scale, injection moulding is often the most cost-effective route.

Design for manufacturability

Optimising design early reduces cost and improves production reliability.

Key considerations include:

  • Consistent wall thickness to prevent sink and distortion
  • Draft angles for reliable ejection
  • Ribbing for structural strength without excess material
  • Strategic gate placement for balanced fill
  • Material selection aligned to environment and performance

We can support design refinement to ensure your part is production-ready before tooling begins.

From concept to production

We support projects from initial design through to full-scale manufacturing.

Typical stages include:

1. Design review
Assessment of geometry, material choice, and manufacturability

2. Tooling design & manufacture
Precision machining of production tooling

3. Sampling & validation
First-off parts reviewed and refined if required

4. Production run
Full-scale manufacturing with consistent quality control

5. Ongoing supply
Repeat production with stable tooling and predictable output
