Our biggest news story is undoubtedly the visit by the Rt Hon David Cameron MP to tour our site and to present three new quality awards.

One of the areas of particular interest was the recently upgraded cleanroom manufacturing section that produces medical and bio-medical mouldings for such diverse areas as Anaesthetics, Gynaecology, Surface Cleanliness testing and Cancer Diagnostics.

M.D. Carl Reeve remarked “Mr Cameron was very interested in our processes and asked many questions about our customers, business plans and staff. “He clearly has an impressive grasp of the issues affecting manufacturing industry”.

“It was super to also welcome Mr Peter Davis, the Director General of the British Plastics Federation of which Data Plastics are members” said Carl. “Peter Davis took the opportunity to discuss the inclusion of the Federation in a manufacturing summit to be held later in the year recently announced by David Cameron who is concerned by the steady decline of British manufacturing”

At the conclusion of their visits David Cameron and Peter Davis were presented with a small souvenir of their visit, a “Tangle Teezer”, hairbrush, designed tooled and made by Data Plastics but famously derided by Dragons Den but is subsequently proving to be a runaway success both in the UK and Internationally.

As proud members of the British Plastics Federation we have access to a huge database relating to topics such as:

DESIGN, MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS, PROCESSING, APPLICATIONS. Indeed all of the questions that designers, buyers and specifiers may need to answer when deciding if a product can be made in plastic

Amongst the questions that we have recently answered include:

"Can you safely add scent or flavouring to food-grade plastic components?" (The answer is yes)

"Is it possible to mould plastic components that can conduct an electrical current."? (The answer was again yes)

We have knowledge of materials that change colour depending on temperature, materials that are bio-degradable, anti-bacterial, 100% recycled materials, a virtual plastic substitute for Aluminium and plastics that dissolve in water- just to mention some of the "exotics"

We offer you free access to both our manufacturing intelligence and to the experience of our design, tooling and manufacturing staff. So if you need help and advice it is freely available here at Data Plastics. The chances are we can save you time and money by pointing out the pitfalls and suggesting cost effective solutions.
