We understand that industrial and engineering businesses require components that deliver consistent performance, durability and reliability in demanding working environments. Products often need to be engineered around specific machinery, processes or operating conditions, making material selection and manufacturing expertise particularly important.
Traditional materials such as steel and aluminium can create challenges around weight, corrosion, fabrication and complex component design. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) provides a highly adaptable alternative, offering excellent strength-to-weight performance, durability and design flexibility.
From machinery components and protective covers to bespoke enclosures and specialist engineered products, GRP can be designed around the precise requirements of the application. Components can provide resistance to corrosion, chemicals, moisture and continual wear while supporting complex geometries and bespoke designs.
Applications include:
- Machinery housings and covers
- Protective guards and panels
- Industrial enclosures
- Equipment housings
- Chemical-resistant components
- Machine and equipment casings
- Bespoke engineering components
- Structural composite components
- Replacement metal components
- Specialist low-volume components

FAQS
Outsourcing is cheaper, has greater time and investment savings, and eliminates technical overhead. We provide the tooling, material, and quality so that you can focus on your core business.
GRP is highly resistant to chemicals, UV, corrosion, and water, making it ideal for harsh or outdoor uses.
General methods are open mould lay-up (hand lay/chop spray), resin transfer moulding (RTM), and vacuum infusion. Each process is suitable for different volumes, surface finishes, and performance specifications.
GRP is lightweight, resistant to chemicals, and cost-effective for complex shapes. GRP has a higher strength-to-weight ratio and is more design and manufacturing flexible than metal or plastic alternatives.
Turnkey CNC kitting and prototyping refers to a full-service process where custom parts are machined, organised into kits, and delivered as ready-to-assemble prototypes, ideal for speeding up product development.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a composite material made by reinforcing a plastic resin with glass fibres, resulting in a lightweight yet strong product. It’s widely used in industries such as automotive, marine, construction, and aerospace for manufacturing durable parts and structures that require high strength-to-weight ratios.
GRP components are widely used in industries such as automotive, marine, construction, aerospace, and infrastructure due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. Common applications include boat hulls, vehicle body panels, building cladding, piping systems, and aerospace parts where durable, lightweight materials are essential.
