We operate two companies from our UK site, Pentagon Plastics Ltd and Pentagon Tooling Ltd and have traded in the sector since 1972. The companies complement each other operating as two supporting divisions in the plastics industry specifically in the sectors of plastic injection moulding and tool manufacture.
The tooling division provides extensive tooling skills to our diverse customer base spanning a wide range of industry sectors and specialises in all forms of mould tool services. This delivers comprehensive mould tool manufacture and support for bespoke in-house moulding for a range of customers and an outsourced service to other plastic injection moulders. Pentagon Tooling is a centre of excellence for mould tool servicing, repair, modification, pre-production development and production mould tools including complex multi-cavity tooling for industries such as medical, aviation, caps & closure and packaging markets amongst others.
The plastics division is a technical expert providing a wealth of knowledge and experience to a diverse customer base spanning many industries. The plastic injection moulding services include design for manufacture, development, tool trials, low to medium volume repeat production and post moulding operations. A wide range of injection mould tooling can be accommodated including basic development tools, single impression and family moulds through to multi-cavity. Tools are processed on a range of clean, efficient and well maintained electric, hybrid and hydraulic moulding machines.
The post moulding services provide added value to the customers and include finishing of parts, inserting, waxing and light assembly. Specialist services such as painting, coating and marking are subcontracted to approved suppliers.

Plastic injection moulding is the process of taking thermoplastic granules and reforming them to a specific shape to produce a component that is functional to meet a specific application. Two main pieces of equipment are required, these are an injection moulding machine and a mould tool.
The thermoplastic granules are loaded into a feeding hopper to be heated into a molten form and then injected into the temperature-controlled mould tool to set the plastic to the required shape.
This simplifies plastic injection moulding as there are many technical process controls including the type of thermoplastic to suit the application, the size of press required and the configuration of the mould tool to be considered.
At Pentagon we have successfully manufactured many hundreds of parts including non-invasive medical, aircraft seating components and electrical housings but our services align themselves to support most industry requirements.
The level of service provided from the facilities in Horsham, West Sussex stand the business apart from many of its competitors in the UK as we do not outsource the mould tooling and therefore have direct on-site control over every element of a project.
We have been trading in the industry since 1972 and under the Pentagon Name since 1979. Our years of experience mean we understand all the challenges, methods and have the know how to take on any project. While we have years of experience to look back on we also keep our team up to date on the latest tools and manufacturing methods.
We have worked on projects across a vast array of sectors over the years and our experience allows us to take on projects in new sectors with ease.
Here are just a few common sectors we work in:
- Medical non-invasive products
- Medical devices
- Aviation and aerospace
- Security, sensor and control
- Construction and electrical
