2 Fern-Howard Plastic Moulding Years of experience, background in lighting & optics Injection moulders for over 27 years, few companies have Fern-Howards breadth of experience. Capable of moulding simple components through to large and complex optical elements requiring injection-compression, we can undertake every step of the injection moulding process - from component and tool design and build, through compound selection and development to final hand finishing. Our own Lighting Range Much more than just injection moulders we produce in excess of 2million components each year for use in our own award-winning lighting ranges. That means we understand quite why accuracy is so important and why delivery times matter. It is why, when supplying customers from across the world from our modern, 24-hour, UK-based plant we can take pride in the quality and efficiency of our work and the skills of our workforce.

3 Plastic Moulding Able to undertake large or small jobs Our twenty injection moulding machines range from 35 tonnes to 1,000 tonnes clamp force. This means we are able to undertake large and complex jobs with confidence and small jobs with exceptional efficiency - processing a range of engineering polymers to produce components with a shot weight of a few grams to 3.5kg. Our background in commercial lighting specifically the moulding of optically pure light guides for LED based luminaires and the skills learned in this demanding area means our quality control and consistency levels are high. We manufacture components for the electronics industry, for the medical industry, and for companies large and small. Indeed for anyone who demands cost-effective high standards, delivered reliably.
