At Roland Plastics, we believe continuous improvement behind the scenes is just as important as innovation on the production line. That’s why we’ve recently completed a significant upgrade to our Suffolk warehouse – installing new heavy-duty tool racking to house our growing collection of moulds.
These aren’t your average storage shelves. Each racking unit is purpose-built to handle the weight and size of our industrial injection moulding tools, which are essential to the manufacturing of tens of thousands of plastic components every month. Each shelf drawer can hold 2 tons of weight, whilst still remaining easy to pull out and operate.
Why this upgrade is important
As a busy injection moulding facility working across a wide range of industries, including automotive, medical, defence, and consumer goods, our toolroom needs to be both highly organised and ready for quick changeovers.
This new tool racking allows us to:
✅ Store tooling safely and securely
✅ Maximise available warehouse space
✅ Improve accessibility for faster setup and reduced downtime
✅ Extend tool lifespan with proper handling and protection
Each of our injection moulding tools is a key asset, carefully designed and maintained to exacting standards. This new system not only protects those investments but helps us stay production-ready at all times.
The decision to invest in upgraded tool storage reflects our wider commitment to scaling sustainably. As we support more customers across the UK and beyond, our internal operations need to grow with us. Smarter storage is a key part of that.
From improved tooling logistics to faster machine setup, this upgrade contributes to smoother production runs and, ultimately, better outcomes for our customers.
