Accuma Plastics Ltd (UK) - Company Profile
Accuma has had over 40 years of experience in making injection moulding of plastic containers, lids, vent-plugs and accessories, as well as in production of a wide range of cold forged lead bushings for electric accumulators.
Established in 1978, the company purchased a factory in the newly created Industrial Enterprise Zone in Corby, Northamptonshire in England .
In 1984 a second company was established in Corby , with a purpose built warehouse. The goal was to give the UK market immediate access to the range of products produced by all the ACCUMA companies.
In 1988 these two companies were successfully merged.
Today the company employs over 60 people. The total production equipment range is composed of 29 oil pressure moulding machines with closing power from 140 to 850 tons.
