We’re pleased to announce that once again we have successfully passed our ISO9001:2015 annual external audit.

Thanks once again to IMSM, who this year, despite the Covid-19 Pandemic and Coronavirus lockdown managed to successfully complete our annual external audit remotely.

Another year another audit. Our thanks to International Management Systems Marketing (IMSM) Ltd for another efficient audit which we are pleased to have passed successfully.

We’re very pleased with the new injection mould tool racking system we’ve had installed by Rack-Storage(UK) this month.

It has reduced the floor space taken up by our ever increasing library of customer tooling and ensured that we have fast easy access for overhead lifting of all tools.

So you can be sure that your tools are securely stored and are accessible at all times.

We are pleased to report that we have, once again, succesfully passed the external audit of our ISO9001-2008 quality system undertaken by IMSM Ltd.

After receiving frequent enquiries to produce larger plastic parts we have made the decision to expand our capacity and have recently installed another Arburg moulding machine.

The new Arburg 570C Golden machine can produce parts weighing up to 350 grams depending on the material used. It also benefits from an Arburg 3 axis Robot to automate production.

To complement the move to the new larger premises we have recently placed orders for the following three new machines.

ALLROUNDER 370S / 700 170 – Following the succesful operation of our existing 370S Arburg, purchased in 2010, this will effectively double our capacity on this size range of machine.
ALLROUNDER 470C / 1500 400 – This larger 150 ton lock machine will allow us release capacity from our existing larger 175 ton lock machine.
BOY 22VV – This vertical injection unit machine is ideal for projects requiring hand loaded overmoulding of parts.

Encap is moving! In order to fulfil our future plans for growth and diversification we have taken the decision to relocate to larger, better equipped premises nearby to our current location in Basildon.

At 4150 sq.ft. the new building is more than twice the size of our existing premises and incorporates separate offices and workshop space plus ample customer parking.

The move date is 30th April 2012. The change of address and contact details will be updated as soon as we have confirmation of our moving date.

We are pleased to announce our recent investment in a new 70 ton Arburg Allrounder S edition machine. The machine, which is due to be installed in November this year, will further increase our capacity to produce technical and accurate parts.

We have invested in the PS Toolmaker upgrade for our existing CAD software PowerSHAPE. This software significantly increases our design capabilities allowing us to add 3D injection mould tooling design to our list of design services.

Following the purchase of a 1500W Sonic Welding machine. We are pleased to report that we are now able to offer in-house welding of moulded plastic assemblies.
