The company, which was launched in 1967 by local men Alan Carr and David Mounteney, started life in a derelict barn at the bottom of David’s garden, with a vacuum-forming machine crafted using hacksaws, a grinder, a welder and a variety of junk found at scrapyards and auctions.
Since then, the company has expanded from a microbusiness with just two employees to become one of the industry’s leading manufacturers of vacuum formed thermoplastic, polyurethane and injection moulded components, with a purpose-designed 120,000 ft2 manufacturing facility in South Luffenham.
