Welcome to
GR8 ENGINEERING
With over 50 years of experience in the plastics industry – mostly within the packaging sector, we continually push the boundaries of injection moulding, stretch blow moulding and thermoforming.
We have over 30 years of hands-on experience in foaming Polypropylene; are the Inventors of various proven processes and have extensive knowledge of MuCell and CFAs. GR8 is the ideal partner to assist in the development of any foaming application.
Over 25 years developing ICM (Injection Compression Moulding) From ultra-thin speaker cones to pails and PET preforms, we guarantee weight reduction.
Our design service covers both product and tooling, specialising in containers and lids, however, we are always p for any new challenges!
We also act as IP consultants to support the industry, having over 40 years of experience in patent creation and portfolio management.
About UsOur Technologies
Gen4Foam
The fourth foaming technology we have been involved in for lightweighting, stiffness and thermal insulation. By applying angled foam expanded ribs to containers, this method ensures the lightest weights with improved top load and hoop strength. The ribs also act as flow promotors, reducing L/T. The ribs inter-stack so no increase in stacking height. Can be applied to any Polypropylene container, round and non-round. Contact us for more information.
Preforms
Our AFM (Active Flow Moulding) technology reduced base thickness and allows for longer preforms with thinner walls. Minimum of 3% weight reduction for any PET bottle, up to 40% less energy to reheat. Contact us for more information.
MCPET Hot
*MCPET (Micro Crystal PET) is a thermoforming, or stretch blow moulding, technology that induces strain induced crystallinity, which is increased by heat conditioned to achieve Clear CPET, heat stable to 230C with clarity. Contact us for more information. *Exclusively licenced for Europe until June 2026.Gallery
