The leisure and recreational vehicle industries need products that combine durability, lightweight construction and design flexibility with an attractive finished appearance. Products must perform reliably while meeting the practical and aesthetic expectations of today's customers.
Traditional materials can introduce challenges around weight, corrosion, maintenance and achieving complex shapes. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) offers a versatile alternative, enabling manufacturers to create lightweight, durable, and visually appealing components with considerable design freedom.
Whether used within motorhomes, campervans, caravans, leisure equipment or other recreational applications, composite components need to withstand continual use, changing weather conditions and exposure to moisture and UV. GRP offers manufacturers the ability to create bespoke components that balance performance, longevity and design.
Applications include:
- Motorhome body components
- Campervan components
- Caravan components
- Interior panels
- Exterior body panels
- Storage and equipment housings
- Leisure equipment components
- Wheel arches and body mouldings
- Bespoke GRP enclosures
- Specialist recreational products

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.
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.
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.
Yes, at MPM, we can transform your idea or sketch into detailed designs and create both the pattern and mould, guiding you from concept through to production-ready tooling.
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.
