Plastic injection moulding is one of the most versatile and widely used manufacturing methods in the world today. It allows for the high-volume production of durable, precision-engineered plastic parts, offering a cost-effective and scalable solution for businesses across a vast range of sectors. From toothbrushes and computer peripherals to automotive interior components and aerospace-grade assemblies, injection moulded plastic parts are everywhere – integrated into the products we use every single day.
At Roland Plastics, we specialise in custom plastic injection moulding services for clients both locally in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, and across the UK and globally too, supporting industries as diverse as medical and care, food and catering, consumer goods, transportation, and defence. Whether you need a small run of bespoke components or millions of units for mass production, our team has the experience, technology, and in-house capabilities to turn your ideas into reality, all from our one site in Wickham Market.
Automotive and Highways
Injection moulding plays a vital role in the automotive, highways and transport industries, enabling the production of lightweight, high-strength components that are both cost-effective and built to perform. From dashboard panels and interior trims to exterior bumpers and under-the-bonnet components, the process allows manufacturers to produce intricate, durable parts with tight tolerances, ideal for today’s high-performance vehicles.
We’ve developed extensive expertise in supplying injection moulded parts for highways applications. Our team has manufactured a wide variety of components, including enclosures and signage for highway gantries, covers for cable management, and with our sister company Electronic Terminations Ltd, electrical systems and architecture. Everything we do is produced with a focus on durability and compliance with industry safety standards.
We’re also highly experienced in advanced techniques such as over-moulding and insert moulding, which are particularly useful for combining different materials or reinforcing components. These capabilities allow us to create complex assemblies that integrate seamlessly into modern vehicle systems, whether for passenger vehicles, heavy goods transport, or roadside infrastructure.
Consumer Goods
The consumer goods sector is one of the most diverse and fast-paced industries served by plastic injection moulding. From everyday household items, personal care products and water filters, to pets toys, kitchen gadget and headphones, injection moulding enables the mass production of high-quality plastic components that are durable, cost-effective, and aesthetically consistent.
At Roland Plastics, we support a wide variety of consumer-focused brands with tailored injection moulding solutions. Whether it’s a customised enclosure for an electrical device, a high-volume run of kitchen accessories, or a bespoke plastic casing for a grooming tool, we bring both precision and reliability to every project. We recently designed and manufactured the Peak Water jug and filters, which improve the quality & pH balance of water to make the perfect cup of coffee.
Medical and Healthcare
The medical and healthcare industry demands the highest standards of quality, cleanliness, and precision, making plastic injection moulding an ideal manufacturing method for a wide range of medical components and devices.
We are proud to support clients in this critical sector by offering ISO-certified Class 8 cleanroom moulding and assembly facilities. This controlled environment ensures that sensitive products such as diagnostic housings, medical-grade enclosures, fluid-handling components, plastic syringes and protective covers are manufactured in line with strict hygiene and regulatory requirements.
Military and Defence
When it comes to the military and defence industry, reliability, durability, and precision are paramount. That’s why plastic injection moulding plays such a critical role in supporting defence-related manufacturing, offering robust, high-performance components that meet demanding operational standards.
We’ve worked with defence partners to deliver injection moulded plastic parts that meet strict specifications, from ruggedised enclosures and charges & mortal packaging to control panel covers and custom weapon containers. Many of these components must withstand extreme environmental conditions, including high impact, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure. Our choice of engineering-grade plastics ensures they perform reliably in the field.
Thanks to our extensive experience and JOSCAR accredited group structure, we understand the importance of confidentiality, traceability, and compliance in this sector.
Energy and Renewables
As the global shift towards sustainability accelerates, the energy and renewables sector continues to demand innovative, reliable solutions, and plastic injection moulding plays a key role in supporting this growth. Whether it’s components for solar panel systems, battery housings, or infrastructure parts for wind and tidal installations, injection moulded plastics offer a lightweight, durable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.
We’ve supported a variety of projects in the renewables industry, producing bespoke plastic components that require UV resistance, thermal stability, and long-term performance in outdoor environments. Our in-house team works closely with customers to recommend the most suitable material grades for each application, including recycled and sustainable plastic options where appropriate.
Food and Beverages
The food and beverage industry relies heavily on plastic injection moulding for the production of safe, hygienic, and durable components used throughout the supply chain, from processing equipment to packaging solutions. Injection moulded parts are commonly used in food-grade containers, dispensers, scoops, nozzles, storage trays, jugs, plastic utensils and bowls to name a few.
We support the food and drink sector by producing precision-moulded plastic parts that meet the highest standards of cleanliness and compliance. Utilising our on-site ISO-certified Class 8 Cleanroom, we’re able to manufacture and assemble plastic components in a controlled environment, minimising contamination risk and ensuring suitability for direct food contact applications. Roland Plastics recently designed and manufactured the plastic parts of Frugal Bottle, which is made from 94% recycled paperboard, meaning it is five times lighter than glass, and has six times lower carbon footprint to manufacture than traditional glass wine bottles.
We also work closely with clients on the development of custom packaging solutions, from tamper-evident closures and lids to reusable dispensers and branded enclosures, all manufactured using food-safe plastics and compliant with relevant regulatory requirements.
