Dickinson Philips | Re-Shoring to the UK | Plastic Injection Moulding

A few years ago, British Injection Moulding Companies simply could not compete with Far Eastern suppliers. In some cases, they couldn't even buy the raw materials for the price of Far Eastern finished goods, however, as Far Eastern economies continue to grow exponentially, so does their labour, energy, shipping and other costs, severely eroding any original price benefits.

We are confident we can produce Injection Moulded products in Britain, that when taking the advantages below into account, are actually lower in cost than sourcing from the Far East.
