Injection Moulding for the Automotive Industry
The Brief
A major OEM approached Flambeau to assess the costing and feasibility of producing a blow-moulded filler tube to be used across several Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) vehicles. They sought a trusted partner with proven expertise in UK plastic injection moulding for the automotive industry, and Flambeau was chosen. The decision was based on our specialisation in suction blow moulded components for the European automotive market.
Our Solution: Future-ready plastic production for automotive
Flambeau began by carrying out a full feasibility analysis to assess the design’s suitability for volume production. Our engineering team recommended strategic modifications to optimise part geometry and improve both process stability and performance.
We managed the entire project lifecycle — from tool manufacture and material selection to production trials and final PPAP submission. Our ability to deliver lightweight automotive components through automotive plastic manufacturing in the UK allowed the customer to reduce logistical risks while aligning with broader reshoring and sustainability objectives.
The Result
The client chose Flambeau not only for our technical expertise in blow moulding but also because of our IATF 16949 accreditation — a hallmark of quality in the UK plastic injection moulding for the automotive industry. The partnership was highly collaborative from initial concept to production rollout, ensuring that the filler tube exceeded performance expectations.
Ultimately, the project delivered better-than-forecasted sales and further cemented our reputation for delivering plastic innovation in mobility. Our work reflected the future of plastic moulding — scalable, efficient, and aligned with the demands of the modern automotive industry.
