Plastic Moulding & Tooling
Injection and compression moulding, mould-tool design and manufacture, trade moulding and full post-moulding finishing.
Moulding & tooling
Injection & compression moulding specialists
Plastic components, engineered and made in Essex.
TekComp designs the tooling, moulds the parts and finishes them ready for assembly — backed by an in-house toolroom, a 3D print farm and decades of process know-how.
What we do
One engineering business, three disciplines
From a single site in Brightlingsea we run production moulding, a research and development programme for new plastic parts and processes, and a technology team that keeps other businesses' IT running.
Research & Development
Developing new manufacturing methods for plastic parts — materials trials, prototype tooling, process proving and design-for-manufacture support.
Our R&D workIT & Technology Support
Practical IT support for local business — systems, networks, hardware and the shop-floor technology that keeps manufacturers productive.
Technology services
In-house capability
Design, tooling and production under one roof
Our facilities are built around the manufacture of injection and compression plastic mouldings and the mould tools that produce them. The in-house toolroom is supported by a range of CAD/CAM systems, DNC-linked to our CNC machinery, so a project can move from drawing to proven tool to moulded part without leaving site.
Secondary operations — ultrasonic welding, wire cutting and stripping, assembly and packaging — mean parts leave us ready to use.

How a project runs
From concept to packed parts
Design & feasibility
We review your part with you, advise on material and geometry, and quote the tooling and piece price.
Tooling & prototyping
The toolroom cuts the mould tool; 3D printing and prototype tools prove the design before steel is committed.
Sampling & approval
First-off samples are measured on the CMM and submitted for your sign-off.
Production & finishing
Moulding, secondary operations, assembly and packaging — delivered to schedule.
