We work proudly alongside some of the biggest names from remarkable industries around the world.
Plastic compression moulding continues to play a vital role in modern manufacturing, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution for producing strong, durable components.
At Fairgrieve Compression Moulding, we work with a wide range of industries that benefit from the unique advantages this manufacturing process provides.
Why choose compression moulding?
Compression moulding is particularly well suited to applications where strength, consistency, and material efficiency are essential. The process uses heated moulds and controlled pressure to form parts with excellent mechanical properties, minimal waste, and high repeatability. This makes it an ideal choice for industries that demand performance and reliability at scale.
Automotive Industry
The automotive sector is one of the largest users of compression moulded components. Parts such as under-bonnet components, interior panels, electrical housings, and structural elements benefit from the high strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability that compression moulding provides. The process is also well suited to medium- and high-volume production runs common in automotive manufacturing.
In 2025, our team at Fairgrieves secured a significant contract supplying a UK-based manufacturer serving the automotive industry.
Electrical and Electronics
Compression moulding is widely used in the electrical industry for components that require excellent insulation and heat resistance. Switchgear, terminal blocks, enclosures, and connectors are often produced using thermoset materials that perform reliably in demanding electrical environments.
Our compression moulded busbar supports play an essential role in ensuring electrical safety in large buildings and also for in critical digital infrastructure environments such as data centres.
Industrial and Engineering Applications
Heavy-duty industrial components frequently require materials that can withstand mechanical stress, temperature variation, and harsh operating conditions. Compression moulding is ideal for producing thick-walled, robust parts used in machinery, tooling, and engineering systems where durability is critical.
Aerospace and Rail
In aerospace and rail applications, compression moulding is valued for its ability to produce lightweight yet strong composite components. Interior panels, structural elements, and fire-resistant parts can be manufactured to meet strict safety and performance standards while maintaining consistent quality.
Construction and Infrastructure
The construction industry benefits from compression moulded components that offer long service life and resistance to environmental factors. Panels, housings, and specialised fittings are commonly produced using materials designed to perform in challenging conditions.
Our industry-leading Matrix Firewall Bracket Base has won repeated industry recognition as it is capable of withstanding intense heat, fire and smoke for up to two hours, helping to provide building occupants with more escape time in the event of a fire evacuation.
Consumer and Commercial Products
For consumer and commercial products where surface finish, strength, and cost efficiency are important, compression moulding offers an excellent balance. It is particularly effective for products with simpler geometries and consistent wall thicknesses.
