Brother Moulding Division

 

The Moulding division of Brother Industries (UK) Ltd, (formerly known as GKK Plastics), was formed in 1990 delivering a precision injection moulding and assembly service to a blue chip client base. We are part of the global Brother Group consisting of over 30,000 employees worldwide, with access to the Brother Network and knowledge centres.

Based on a 24,000 sq. metre site in Wrexham, North Wales with good transport links to all areas of the UK. We supply Plastic Mouldings to a diverse range of markets including Electronics, Medical, Agricultural and Construction industries and can provide a total manufacturing service from concept design to finished product.

As specialists in the moulding of technical components, we have extensive assembly experience in both high and low volume manufacturing. Our highly efficient operation and continuous improvement philosophy ensure we remain extremely competitive and can offer the very best value to our customers.

At Brother we will always strive to offer an exceptional service and to meet and exceed our customer’s expectations.
 

  1. Injection moulding SAN Crewe

    Injection moulding SAN Crewe
    Manufacture of SMC is a continuous in-line process. The material is sheathed both top and bottom with a plastic film. A Paste is prepared comprising resin, styrene, heat activating catalysts, inert fillers, release agents and thickeners. The paste is spread uniformly onto an SMC Junction Box the bottom film. Chopped glass fibres are randomly deposited onto the paste. The top film is introduced and the sandwich is rolled into a pre-determined thickness. The sheet is allowed to mature for 48 hours.

    Please call for further information.

  10. Injection moulding TPE

    Injection moulding TPE
    The field of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) has been growing rapidly during the last two decades. A number of classes of TPEs have been commercialized and widely adopted in many applications across most industries. The thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a class of TPEs with a cross-linked rubber phase, which has the performance of thermoset rubbers. The TPVs are growing rapidly and attention to their processing is important to understand TPEs. The other TPEs generally can be described as block copolymer or a polymer blend.
