ICM (Plastic Moulding) Ltd, a member of The Merriott Group, is a prominent trade moulding firm with manufacturing facilities situated in the South West (Somerset) and the South East (Kent) regions of the United Kingdom. Our specialisation lies in the production of intricate and challenging mouldings crafted from both thermoplastic and thermoset materials, employing advanced injection and compression processes.
Our extensive expertise in these processes, materials, and tooling allows us to assist customers in translating their designs—whether straightforward or intricate—into reality, ensuring they are ready for production. Additionally, we offer a range of post-moulding finishing operations to further refine and complete the mouldings according to the final specifications of our customers.
Our Solutions Include:
Injection Mouldings
We provide specialised thermoplastic injection moulding services tailored to our commercial clients. This manufacturing method enables the consistent production of plastic parts according to your precise specifications. Thermoplastics, being polymers, can be softened or melted through heating. Once in a molten state, they are injected into a mould and left to cool, solidifying once again. This process is particularly advantageous for companies needing to manufacture substantial quantities of components or articles to meet specific requirements.
Compression Mouldings
We offer an expert compression moulding service to clients worldwide, including those in the UK. Our dedicated team excels in creating composite moulded components spanning various sizes, ranging from a few grams to 10 kilograms. The use of side ram and transfer ram presses enables us to design and manufacture a diverse range of products, from small insulators for the electronics industry to single-piece seats for railway carriages and beyond. Components produced through compression moulding exhibit minimal warping, shrinking, or expanding and provide enhanced fire resistance.
Design & Tooling
Our expertise lies in the production of technical mouldings using both thermoplastic and thermoset materials, catering to a diverse range of industrial clients. Our comprehensive plastic moulding solutions cover the entire process, from the initial concept to the final production, ensuring a streamlined approach for each project and delivering exceptional quality and customer service. Furthermore, flexibility is a key strength of the Merriott Group, allowing us to tailor our services to meet your specific requirements.
Finishing Services
