Interplas UK – 2023

Interplas UK is the UK’s leading plastics exhibition and conference that has been connecting the UK plastics industry for 75 years.  The event was first held in 1948 as a showcase of plastic products and technology at the British Industries Fair in London. Since then, it has grown to become one of the longest-running industrial trade shows in the UK, attracting thousands of attendees from across the industry. The event has been held at different venues across the UK, including London, Birmingham, and Manchester. In 2023, Interplas celebrated its 75th anniversary at the NEC in Birmingham. The event featured over 500 exhibitors and attracted over 12,000 attendees from across the industry.

Interplas 2023 showcased the latest innovations in plastics manufacturing processes, technologies, materials, and services. The event also provided a platform for key buyers from companies such as 3M, Bentley, Jaguar Land Rover, GSK, Samsung, Honda, Bespak, Delta Electronics, Unilever, BAE Systems, Boots and Rolls Royce to find the latest plastics tech and materials.

Simoldes Tools presence at the show allowed us to meet with some of our UK clients and meet new potential clients in the automotive industry and in consumer goods.

SIMI: Innovative Solutions in Multi-injection

Simoldes_SIMI (Innovative Solutions in Multi-injection)

Project Identification:

The SIMI project’s strategic goal is the technology development related to the manufacture of tools (molds) for multi-material injection processes.

It focuses on a new and innovative solution from the companies MDA and SIMOLDES PLASTICOS.

The purpose to research and develop methods focused on the development of molding tools for the production of multi-material product production.

The project aims to obtain simpler molds, with less production time, lower maintenance costs and less susceptibility to error or malfunction.

This new solution will be developed and tested using molds designed and manufactured according to the specific features of the products for the target markets introducing in this industry specific know-how to design and manufacture molds.

This knowledge will be developed and tested in an industrial environment based on two case studies oriented, one for the automotive sector, and the other one for houseware.

The use of different materials will eliminate any possible component assembly work.

Another major objective is to achieve greater integration with the adjacent parts and components that perform different functions, such as, in one of the selected case studies – door panel – the rubber seal inside the glass.

The industrial advantages of this new solution allow us to predict gains in quality and productivity in the technology supply inducing an increase in the competitiveness of the companies.
