Located between the Gatwick triangle and M25 Leatherhead junction, easy motorway access provides fast connection to the UK road networks, enabling Broanmain to continue fulfilling customers short, just-in-time component production and shipment lead times.  

The extensive high-volume, purpose-built moulding facility, comprises a fleet of precision injection moulding machines and a dedicated in-house tooling maintenance and assembly workshop. It has the capacity to produce in excess of 200,000 components a week. 

Serving tier 1 to tier 4 suppliers from the automotive sector, aerospace, industry, and medical market, as well customers in the packaging, consumer, and construction space, Broanmain has scaled up its moulding business in preparation for Brexit and the trend towards reshoring of plastic production. 

Broanmain operations director Jo Davis explains: “Given that just-in-time production can be the difference between securing or losing a manufacturing order, customers are moving production of their moulded components from Asia and EMEA back to the UK. 

“Overseas manufacturers usually require a minimum order of 5000 units to guarantee the best price. In addition to the upfront financial commitment this incurs, there are shipping costs, import duties, shipping delays, taxes, VAT and storage fees to take into account,” cautions Jo. “Suddenly a cheap deal seems far less attractive.”

Broanmain remains one of the few trade moulders in the UK to offer all types of thermoplastic and thermosetting moulding. The company also offers RFI electronic device shielding, pad printing, chrome or coloured plating, serial laser marking, drilling and high quality reaming. Stand E145
