At Vaplas Ltd, we specialise in producing high-quality plastic components tailored to the precise needs of our clients. Based in Normanton, West Yorkshire, our team combines decades of expertise, advanced machining technology, and a wide range of thermoplastic materials to deliver components that perform reliably across demanding environments.
Material Choice & Quality
We offer a broad spectrum of industrial plastics – including acrylics (Perspex®, Vivak®, Lexan®, Makrolon®), nylons (including Nylatron), Delrin (Acetal), PTFE, PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, PEEK and more.
All materials are sourced to exacting standards, suitable for applications from food‐safe or pharmaceutical use to chemically harsh or high-temperature environments.
Using modern CNC mills, routers, turning centres and CAD-CAM systems, we can manufacture one-off prototypes or high-volume batches.
Our fabrication capabilities extend to bending, welding, bonding, polishing and finishing to precise tolerances.
Our plastic components serve many industries: food processing, packaging, pharmaceutical, chemical, automotive, aerospace, agriculture, printing and utilities.
Examples include machine guards, access panels and doors, enclosures, wear parts, pipework and tanks. Whether you need display modules, extractors or custom assemblies, we can provide the component suited to your use case.
Quality is built into every stage. We use CAD files to drive machining, then measurements with micrometres, bore gauges, image dimension tools, and 3D measurement systems to verify conformity.
Vaplas holds ISO 9001 certification and maintains rigorous batch inspection and tolerance checks.
Send us your design or prototype requirements. Our engineers can also assist with material selection, design optimisation, weight or strength trade-offs, and cost-efficient solutions.
From a single prototype to thousands of identical parts, we scale our production to match your demand. We ensure the same high-standard finish and consistent dimensions in both low and high volume runs.
Components are delivered with the finishes and properties you require. Whether polished, flame- or vapour-finished, stress-relieved, or simply machined to shape, we ensure the component is ready for its environment.
We are a family-run company founded in 1993, built on the principle that “if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.”
We invest continually in technology, training, and quality processes so clients receive reliable, durable components.
We provide full support from concept through design, material choice, manufacture, inspection and delivery.
We are more than happy to answer any question that you may on the different plastic machining processes that we use,or even give you a quote on the work you would like to be carried out. So, call now on 01924 220 050 and one of our expert team will gladly answer any queries you may have.
