Hillbrush Makes Further Injection Moulding Investment

Hillbrush, the UK’s largest manufacturer of brushware and hygienic cleaning tools has invested in a second large-scale injection moulding machine at its site at Mere in Wiltshire, U.K.

The 1000 tonne Haitian MARS 2 injection moulding machine will enable Hillbrush to venture into new trade moulding business, fulfilling larger tooling projects that the company would otherwise have to outsource, such as snow shovels, warning A-frame signs, multi-impression dustpans and buckets.

Hillbrush installed its first large scale injection moulding machine, which has a pick and place robot mounted to it, in January 2020. As well as brushware and its own large parts, Hillbrush is now also able to manufacture medium to large parts for other companies who require plastic products that are injection moulded.
