About us

Since its establishment, Sonics & Materials Inc. has upheld a global leadership role in ultrasonic welding technology and, more recently, ultrasonic food cutting. The company holds ISO 9001 certification, consistently remaining at the forefront of industry innovation.

Pioneering advancements in both research and applied technology, Sonics is committed to delivering top-notch products and practical manufacturing solutions. This commitment is reinforced by extensive technical support and expertise in various applications.

Established in August 2004, Sonics & Materials (UK) Ltd. originated by acquiring the plastic welding business from Kerry Ultrasonic. Kerry Ultrasonics, founded in 1954, had been a leading manufacturer of plastic welding and ultrasonic cleaning equipment. The acquisition occurred as Guyson International Ltd. purchased Kerry Ultrasonics in early 2004, with a primary focus on acquiring ultrasonic cleaning capabilities. Consequently, the plastic welding business was divested to Sonics and Materials UK Ltd.

Our Products Include:

Ultrasonic Plastic Welding Equipment
Ultrasonic plastic welding equipment represents cutting-edge technology in the field of joining thermoplastic materials. Utilising high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations, this equipment creates a strong and precise bond between plastic components without the need for adhesives or additional materials. The process involves applying ultrasonic energy to the plastic parts, causing localised melting and subsequent fusion as the materials cool.

Including:

Bench Machines
Special Machines
Hand Welders
Tooling

Ultrasonic Metal Welding Equipment
This technique offers distinct advantages, including minimal heat-affected zones, precise control over the welding process, and the ability to join dissimilar metals. Ultrasonic metal welding finds applications in various industries, from automotive and aerospace to electronics, providing manufacturers with a reliable and efficient method for producing strong, high-quality metal connections without the need for additional materials or filler metals.

Including:

Spot Welders
Wire Splicers
Seam Welders
Battery Pack Welders

Other Equipment

Including:

Ultrasonic Food Cutting Equipment
Spin Welding Machines
Vibration & Hot Plate Welding Equipment

For around 15 years, Kerry Ultrasonics had been involved in distributing Sonics & Materials Inc. products and producing ultrasonic tooling. The entirety of this business was transferred to Sonics and Materials (UK) Ltd., a company specialised in distributing an extensive array of plastic welding equipment, encompassing ultrasonic, hotplate, vibration, and spin welding.

Benefiting from the technical expertise and experience of Sonics & Materials Inc., and possessing nearly three decades of experience in working with ultrasonic plastic welding equipment, Sonics and Materials (UK) Ltd. is well-equipped to support your plastic welding applications.
