The History of Plastic Closures,

Our company has been based in Warrington since 1982, taking on the name Plastic Closures Ltd in 1984. Specialising in the high output production of quality closures and caps for the packaging and associated industries since it began.

After steady growth, profit and stability the company moved from its base in Thelwall to the present location at Woolston. The new factory was purchased out right and has room for future expansion and production. Production has recently been expanded with the purchases of two new injection-moulding machines just after the move to the new factory, which was initiated over the Christmas, shut down holiday of 1995. The company achieved the move without loss of production for the start of January 1996. Well established in the Woolston area, the new premises have facilitated enhanced product development by the addition of a laboratory and test centre, enabling increased reliability of our products and benchmarking systems.

In the summer of 1993 Plastic Closures Ltd attained BS 5750 and we have continued to use the new ISO BS EN 9002 to enhance our service, production, quality and administrative procedures

Recently PCL have increased their production capabilities with the purchase of four further injection moulding machines and new wadding facilities, both acquisitions have improved lead-times, quality and flexibility.

Our technical department has many years experience of cap and closure production, we have recently built four of our own medium output assemble machines.

The company believes in people and building relationships, we strive to achieve the highest quality by continuous improvement and by communication throughout our organisation and customer base. We have recently been accepted as a designated "positive about disabled people" company.
