R&D opens new ‘product solutions lab’

continues its efforts to establish the company as more than a moldmaker with the inauguration of its new Product Solutions Lab (PSL) at its facility in Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England. Last year, the company opened a similar lab at its facility near Kansas City, Missouri. Its goal is to add industrial design, product development and prototyping services to match its established moldmaking expertise; the firm has long made PET preform and blow molds, and molds for injection blowmolding and injection molding. 

“We are much more than superior toolmakers, molders and manufacturers – we have the complete industrial design piece too, all available within one company,” said Alan Tolley, managing director at R&D. —[email protected]
