Telford-based LVSSmall Plastic Parts has nearly 40 Injection Moulding machines, all currently running various projects. Demand from various sectors, including automotive, house wares, and building, has necessitated the purchase of another large tonnage Negri Bossi machine.
The Negri Bossi Vector Series 650 tonne, which was delivered mid-November, is the second purchase of a large tonnage machine for the LVS moulding facility.
Simon Anderson - Managing director of LVS Small Plastic Parts said - "Our most recent purchase really does show our desire to offer larger mouldings to our current customer base. The enquiry levels from various industry sectors and expanding and ongoing projects has been the driver for the LVS board of Directors to invest in larger tonnage machines".
Negri Bossi's Director of Sales - Richard Stamps said "The LVS story is an excellent example of how the moulding industry in the UK is expanding again. We have worked with LVS Small Plastic Parts during all the various economic conditions that the UK Moulding industry has experienced, and there's no doubt their current outlook is very positive indeed. Negri Bossi UK has supplied to LVS for many years and the recent purchase of a larger tonnage machine is strategically a very strong move for LVS."
LVS Small Plastic Parts purchase of the new Negri Bossi 650 ton Vector series machine will cater for the additional ''under the bonnet'' applications they are fulfilling. Combined with their series of mid range machines, it will help bolster capacity and offer a supporting role within their moulding facility.
LVS are currently expanding their facility in Telford and are looking at the purchase of an extra site near their current facility in Stafford Park.
