A big thank you from all of us to the NHS and all key workers for their dedication and hard work.
About Us
read moreFind out about Arnolds from our humble beginnings to one of the UK's leading plastic manufacturers. We have been manufacturing plastic products for nearly 50 years and in that time we have gone from a terraced house in Northampton town centre to different factories in the Moulton Park Industrial area of Northampton, culminating in the freehold purchase of our current site which we have extended twice. Whilst the main stays of our business are all types of plastic machining, welding, fabrication and thermoforming we have diversified to meet customer demands into vacuum forming, lamination, point of sale, display, acrylic furniture, signs and graphics and shop fitting.
CNC Milling
read moreCNC linked HAAS vertical machining centres operated by highly skilled engineers who provide the technical expertise in producing complex machined parts to exacting standards. CNC machining with state of the art 3, 4 & 5 axis vertical machining centres combined with 'W.I.P.S' (Wireless Intuitive Probing System) enables us to manufacture complex components with minimum set up times and to a high level of accuracy. The full supply process from quotation through to delivery note and certificates of conformity is supported by MieTrak ERP software providing full traceability of materials and parts manufactured.
Fabrication
read moreWe have a saying that, "If we can't make it, no one can" and this has proved true throughout the years. With acrylic and plastic fabrication, therein lies the skills of our fabricators by bending and/or bonding an array of plastics, creating a product purely by their labour and skill. Bending and forming all plastics by heat is the main stay of fabrication manufacture alongside material bonding. We have also developed processes to achieve curved shapes in acrylic and polycarbonate on a multi-unit produce scale, a process which in the past has been a time consuming, complicated and expensive process.
Engineering
read moreEngineering skills lies at the very heart of our business, it is from this reputation that our business has grown with over 45 years of plastic engineering experience we manufacture in a wide range of plastics. Modern plastics afford the flexibility and cost effectiveness which traditional metal counterparts just cannot compete with, stability over a wide temperature range, resistance to chemical attack, impact and abrasion resistant, self-lubricating and reduced maintenance costs. We have developed each process separately and also together with the engineering department as a whole, investing in the latest and quickest machinery available, combining them with a seamless process from design, through to programming and onwards to manufacture and then with the necessary controls such as laser scanning, compliance and conformity.
