SITE VISIT PATTERSON & ROTHWELL – Wednesday 1st May 2024
What is Plastic Injection Moulding?
Just like many warehouses and distribution and fulfilment centres many production and manufacturing businesses share a hesitancy to demonstrate their commercially sensitive working procedures.
On the 1st May one of AMHSA’s newest members will be throwing open their doors and inviting members to visit their facility in Oldham to see, first-hand, how plastic injection moulding continues to shape the way that goods are stored, conveyed and delivered to picks stations, storage places and customers, using automated and manual material handling systems, all over the world.

With a wealth of manufacturing experience they proficiently work with various polymer materials, ranging from virgin and recycled polypropylene, HDPE, to high-end engineering polymers, including PA, PBT, POM, PC & ABS to name a few.
