Wrexham-based Fibrax Ltd (www.fibrax.org), a global injection moulding specialist, is continuing to upgrade its production capabilities to increase its plastic moulding capacity.

The company has recently invested in two modular Engel Victory machines, which are said to provide more flexibility and greater efficiency than traditional injection moulding machines and are suitable for a wide range of technical plastic mouldings.

Fibrax operates a range of injection moulding machine sizes, including 30-560 tonnes for rubber and 50-450 tonnes for plastic, enabling the company to meet an extensive variety of requirements.

It also specialises in precision over-moulding of multi-part components and offers a multi-component assembly service for sub-assemblies and completed products.

Rob Winterbottom, Fibrax’s technical sales director, said: “Engel is well-known for creating machinery of the highest quality, developed using the latest technologies.

“By investing in the 50- and 120-tonne Engel Victory machines, we can extend our UK manufacturing capability, while also harnessing greater control of smaller shot- weight tools.

"The machines’ tie-bar-less technology complements our continual improvement strategy, as we are able to drive greater efficiencies in the future.”

Fibrax, which also has a plant in Poland, recently announced the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Morocco, which will trade as Morocco Precision Mouldings and serve the global automotive supply chain.
