As part of Kingswinford-based RP Technologies’ on-going investment and expansion plans, it has invested more than £100,000 in new machinery (www.rptechnologies.co.uk).

The manufacturer of aluminium soft tooling and injection-moulded components has purchased two Borche injection moulding machines (a 200-tonne model and a 320-tonne unit) to increase its capacity and productivity.

Over the last five years, the company has continued to grow and invest in new technology to keep up with demand, and this is the company’s second investment in 2017.

Earlier this year, it purchased a 120-tonne injection moulding machine, plus an additional Hurco CNC machining centre — and it opened a new sales office in Germany.

RP Technologies is now planning to purchase additional CNC machining centres and to recruit more staff.
