TH Plastics Gain More Recognition!

TH Plastics is thrilled to have received the esteemed Plastic Industry Award for Supplier Partnership: Ancillary Equipment, honouring our innovative Material Handling System created in partnership with Polypipe BHL.

An event celebrating the accomplishments of the plastics industry was held at the Intercontinental Hotel at Park Lane, London on Friday, 22nd November. This annual event, which has been celebrated in London since 2001 aims to acknowledge and reward innovation and outstanding performance in a highly competitive market.

In 2022, Polypipe began plans for a new moulding shop by the side of their current production halls. The room would consist of new and relocated machines to streamline their production operations and increase output of demand and high-volume parts.

TH Plastics were contacted to tender for the project and design a material handling system consisting of centralised conveying, dosing, drying, manifold tables and Moretto’s supervisory system to meet Polypipe’s requirement. Over the course of the project, TH Plastics partnered closely with Polypipe to ensure the project ran smoothly, ahead of schedule and harmoniously alongside other onsite changes to infrastructure. The judges for this entry were not only impressed by the high level of service provided, but also noted the massive benefits that Polypipe felt throughout the duration of the project. The judges said “Great project, great collaboration, and a great illustration of how to create a loyal customer. The professional and proactive approach taken by TH Plastics validates their dedication to customer satisfaction and their capability to deliver reliable solutions to meet detailed requirements”.

During an event attended by a sold-out audience of plastics industry professionals, TV comedian Zoe Lyons, known for her performances in Superbob, Meet the Richardsons, and Comedy at the Fringe, presented the award. James Goddard, Technical Manager, and Gary Colgan, Engineering Manager, both of TH Plastics, accepted the award from Jessica Clarke, Managing Director of PlastikCity, who sponsored the award.

James Goddard, Technical Manager speaking about the awards “We pride ourselves in offering first class solutions, ensuring we deliver with minimal hassle and 100% confidence for our customers.

Manager

Xtex

"As a result of our initial dealings with TH Plastics, we had high expectations of the company, but I have to say that even these were surpassed. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding and the speed and safety with which the work was undertaken made the installation a joy to witness. And, when the installation was complete and the system was switched on, it worked perfectly immediately".

Advanced Manufacturing Manager

Kautex Unipart

"TH Plastics were excellent at every stage, from initial site visits and concepts to equipment supply and testing as well as the complete installation on site. I received a personal service from the outset. TH Plastics did a very good job; they did what they said they would and they did it extremely well."

Engineering Manager

BPI Rhymney

"I was particularly impressed at how proactive the team at TH Plastics were when we asked them to provide a reference site. They responded immediately and arranged for us to visit Maxell Moulding Services in Telford, where TH Plastics had delivered a factory move installation. The Manager at Maxell was extremely positive about TH Plastics and we were impressed with the standard of workmanship on site."

Their team is the only company that I know that offers such a uniformed process from beginning to end.
