Rutland Plastics

Rutland Plastics is a leading UK injection moulding specialist with decades of experience and a proud heritage dating back to 1956. Still family‑run and based in Oakham, Rutland, the company has grown into one of the country’s most capable and trusted moulding partners, supporting organisations across every major industry sector.

With over 30 modern, energy‑efficient moulding machines ranging from 50 to 2400 tonnes, Rutland Plastics can produce components from 1g to 48kg and up to 1.7m in size. This exceptional range allows the team to deliver everything from small, intricate parts to large, complex mouldings with precision, consistency and efficiency.

Rutland Plastics works collaboratively with customers from concept to completion. Its in‑house experts provide design for manufacture support using advanced 3D CAD and Moldex3D simulation, ensuring every project is optimised for performance, cost and production efficiency. The company offers a complete end‑to‑end service including design for manufacture, tooling, moulding, machining, printing, assembly and warehousing — all delivered from a single, well‑equipped site.

The business processes an extensive variety of polymers, from prime and reprocessed materials to glass‑filled, mineral‑filled and specialist compounds. It also works with a wide range of additives and masterbatches, including flame retardants, anti‑microbials and blowing agents. Rutland Plastics has particular expertise in large‑part and thick‑section moulding, routinely producing components with sections exceeding 100mm.

A cloud‑based ERP system ensures full traceability, flexible scheduling and seamless production control. Customers can order on demand or align manufacturing with their own schedules, with the option for bulk production and call‑off storage to optimise cost and efficiency.

Sustainability is central to the company’s operations. Rutland Plastics invests heavily in reducing its environmental impact, including installing 900 photovoltaic panels on its warehouse roof and using REGO‑certified electricity. Its self‑funded sustainability programme reflects a long‑term commitment to responsible manufacturing and resource conservation.
