Stock Shape Capabilities

At the heart of everything we do is our state-of-the-art cast nylon manufacturing facility, delivering our wide range of semi-finished profiles and custom cast capabilities.

Each grade of Cast Nylon 6 is produced through an anionic polymerisation mechanism, enabled through a chemical reaction process. With over 6,000 variations our single material focus allows us to provide a depth of manufacturing knowledge and expertise. This methodology starts with our material development team and moves through to manufacturing, technical support, and sales.
