In mid-2020, with global supply chains experiencing significant disruption and apparently no end in sight to the destabilizing impact of Covid-19 on international trade, Australian companies increasingly turned to local manufacturers to meet their packaging requirements.
One of the first Australian companies to experience this sudden surge in demand –in this case, for plastic caps and seals– was Designed Mouldings, a family-run injection molding specialist based in a purpose-built, 21,528 sq. ft. facility on Sydney’s southside. The facility houses 18 injection molding machines ranging in tonnage from 50-300 tons and can produce both single and multi-piece articles.
“From a production volume of 10,000 to 20,000 products a month, we were facing orders of 50,000 to 100,000 caps a month. Manual assembly was no longer a viable option for us,” – Paul Neumeyer, Managing Director of Designed Mouldings
