Design

If you are still designing your component or assembly, we would be happy to consult with you to ensure manufacturing considerations and cost implications are taken into account from the outset.

Reverse Engineering

If you are looking to replicate an existing component, we can work with you to reverse engineer it and produce a component to the same standard and degrees of tolerance, or better if required.

Material Selection

The material chosen is a vital element of your component. We work with several material suppliers who between them provide all known materials and brands, and who also develop compounds to specific requirements.

Prototype Development

If you are at proof of concept stage and are looking to develop a one-off or prototype, we will work with you and advise on cost and manufacturing considerations – both for the prototype and for potential ongoing production.

Injection Moulding

MeadeX operate state of the art injection moulding machinery to cater for low volume production through to high volume automated manufacture, with press capacities ranging from 60 tonnes to 400 tonnes per 24 hours.

Compression Moulding

With lower capital cost for tooling than injection moulding, compression moulding is a good option for small production runs and can also be better for larger parts. We have a large number of compression presses.

UK Production

We produce rubber, silicone and plastic components in our two UK manufacturing facilities – with specialists in the different materials and types of manufacture overseeing production. We specialise in advanced materials and bonding.

Overseas Sourcing

In some instances it is worth considering overseas production and we manage the process end to end. We have a reliable and trusted overseas network of suppliers and consultants built up over many years.

Inspection, Testing & Finishing

With a commitment to quality, extensive lab facilities and automated visual inspection equipment, we can schedule testing, validation and quality checking at all stages of the process. Plus we have a highly skilled team of trimmers, assemblers, pickers and packers.

Recyclable / Renewable Materials

Wherever possible we offer sustainable and renewable materials, and if required can work with environmental consultants to get accurate and thoroughly considered reports on your design and material options.

Approvals

We can source plastic, rubber and silicone that is flame retardant, chemical resistant, military grade, WRAS / Water Safe / Water Council / British Gas / UL approved, and that complies with Food Quality Standards, Medicine & Healthcare regulations and British Standards. Simply advise your material specification requirements in full at the start of the process and we’ll do the rest.
