MGB Plastics set to become wheelie bin giant

MGB Plastics has invested in a 2350T Husky injection-moulding machine, which gives them one of the largest selections of large tonnage injection moulding machines in the UK.

This will increase the manufacturing capacity of the modern facility on Barbot Hall Industrial Estate to 1.5 million bins a year.

The site also has a dedicated "in-house" distribution team that have been responsible for the delivery of in excess of four million wheelie bins to households throughout the UK.

General manager Conor Sugrue said: “The addition of a further large tonnage injection moulding machine demonstrates MGB’s commitment to being the UK's largest manufacturer of wheeled bins.

“Not only does it increase our manufacturing capacity but it also allows us to respond quicker to our customers requirements as well as providing the most competitive wheeled bin prices in the UK market.”

Formerly Titan Plastech, MGB Plastics is a wholly owned subsidiary of One51plc after they acquired the wheelie bin business of Titan from Kingspan plc in 2008.
