PLASTIC ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS LIMITED
Company number 03345469 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Plastic Engineering Solutions Limited is a well-established, small-scale UK plastics manufacturer (SIC 22290) operating from Gloucestershire, with 27 years of trading history and a distinctive Employee Ownership Trust governance structure. The company demonstrates above-average financial resilience for its size and sector, with growing net assets (£2.55M), modest gearing (~20%), and a counter-cyclical capital investment programme in FY2025 that signals strategic confidence amid broader UK plastics industry headwinds including polymer tax reforms and energy cost pressure. Its principal vulnerabilities are its modest scale (41 employees) which constrains R&D and supply chain leverage, plus the need to navigate evolving ESG-driven regulatory frameworks that are reshaping competitive dynamics across the UK plastics manufacturing sector.
