Supporting Healthy Air for All — Our Ongoing Collaboration With Volution Group
Home / Case Study / Supporting Healthy Air for All — Our Ongoing Collaboration With Volution Group
Overview
With a clear mission to provide healthy indoor air in a sustainable way, Volution Group plc (Volution) has become a global leader in the design and delivery of advanced ventilation products. Central to that success is their partnership with Flambeau Europe, a sustainable injection moulder trusted for nearly four decades to engineer and deliver high-quality, recycled plastic components at scale across the UK and Europe.
Operating across the UK, Europe, and Australasia, Volution has embraced sustainability while navigating a steep growth trajectory — doubling revenue over the last decade and building a strong portfolio of 22 brands in 17 countries.
At the heart of this journey are long-standing partnerships. Flambeau Europe, a leading custom plastic components supplier and full-service manufacturing partner, has worked hand-in-hand with Volution to co-develop, produce, and deliver efficient and sustainable injection moulded parts that power many of Volution’s most innovative products.
Meeting Modern Ventilation Demands with a Sustainable Injection Moulder
Volution’s product range spans residential and commercial applications — from simple kitchen and bathroom extractor fans to high-performance mechanical heat recovery systems and hybrid ventilation units. These systems are designed to meet the evolving needs of airtight, energy-efficient buildings and comply with strict regulations on air quality and environmental impact.
Behind many of these products are injection moulded components made from both virgin and post-consumer recycled polymers, a process Flambeau Europe helps engineer from concept to completion.
“As most of our products are made from plastics, we’ve been on a mission to increase the amount of recycled content,” says CEO Ronnie George. “Working with partners like Flambeau and Ultra Polymers, we’ve developed a reliable supply chain that allows us to uphold mechanical and fire-resistance standards while using recycled material.”
A Long-Standing, Evolving Partnership
Flambeau Europe has been a trusted supplier to Volution for nearly four decades. But more than just a supplier, they’ve evolved into a strategic, sustainable injection moulder — deeply integrated into Volution’s product development, production, and supply chain operations.
With a modern fleet of injection moulding machines (from 60 to 1700 tons), Flambeau Europe enables the production of a wide range of high-performance components and sub-assemblies used in ventilation systems across the UK and Europe.
Working closely with Volution’s R&D and operations teams, Flambeau supports:
Optimised part design for function and manufacturability
Integration of post-consumer recycled plastics without quality compromise
Custom automation to speed up production and enhance consistency
Flexible manufacturing and warehousing solutions for on-time delivery
“Our role isn’t just to mould plastic; it’s to help Volution bring their ideas to life at scale — sustainably, efficiently, and reliably,” says a spokesperson from Flambeau Europe. “We’re proud to be part of their growth story.”

How a Sustainable Injection Moulder Enables Low-Impact Manufacturing
Sustainability is embedded into every aspect of the Volution–Flambeau partnership. Volution has already achieved 78% recycled plastic usage in its manufacturing — with a bold target of 90% in the years ahead. As a sustainable manufacturing partner, Flambeau actively supports this goal by:
Sourcing and validating new grades of recycled polymers
Investing in energy-efficient moulding technology
Lean manufacturing processes to reduce waste and carbon impact
This synergy ensures that product innovations meet market demand for performance, while also aligning with broader climate objectives. It’s this shared commitment to responsible production that makes Flambeau the right fit as Volution’s sustainable injection moulding partner.

Innovation That Scales with Growth
Volution’s impressive growth — including the recent acquisition of Australia-based Fantech — has required agility, speed, and scale from its partners. Flambeau Europe has responded with:
Rapid prototyping capabilities
Expanded production capacity
Custom tooling and automation development
By combining flexibility with sustainability-led engineering, Flambeau continues to prove why it’s Volution’s go-to sustainable injection moulding partner, even as product complexity and demand scale globally.
