NEPPCO Ltd

NEPPCO is a network of over 50 manufacturing companies and technical resources offering an integrated design, development, manufacturing and research facilities for the process and plastics industries. The NEPPCO head office is located in The University of Manchester, Centre for Manufacture.

The strategic aim of NEPPCO is to provide through its membership all the facilities needed to take a new product idea into commercial production and at the same time to provide a highly competitive service for manufacturing existing products.

A Plastics Design and Manufacturing Unit (PDMU) has been established to help companies and individuals take their ideas for a new product, process or material change all the way through the various stages of research, design, prototyping, pilot tooling, pilot production and, finally, commercial production - at low cost.

The Process Development and Competitivity Unit (PDCU) was formed to implement product and process improvements within factories in the North West in order to increase competitivity.
