Plastics Solutions
Ames Direct is an engineered plastics supply company with a clear focus on providing the best solution for clients. Whilst we can supply a plastic for almost any requirement, our priority is to ensure we understand your needs.
From here, we can discuss exactly what your objective is to meet the need, offer more than one option, and then fulfil the requirement with dedication and enthusiasm from an experienced team.
We are constantly investing in our business and quality control to make our service even more responsive to fast-changing market demands.
All Shapes and Sizes
Ames Direct supplies plastics in a variety of semi-finished and fully machined forms.
Rod, tube and plate are ideal for engineering workshops and clients who wish to machine their own items, whilst we do offer full machining and fabrication where a complete product is called for.
Where design results in complex shapes and particular material qualities, combined with larger production runs, we can injection mould, custom cast, or use other moulding techniques to provide a finished product quickly and economically.
