FSG Tool and Die broke its own record for Dragon Plastics, providing the specialist closures company with modifications to a large multi-impression tool for plastic cap moulds within a day and a half. Dragon Plastics, based in Pontypridd, has been doing business with its neighbour, FSG, for many years, during which time it has purchased several complete suites of tooling and had much maintenance work carried out by the company - but even Dragon was impressed by the super-fast turn-around time FSG delivered for the latest tool modifications. Dragon Plastics MD, Ian Parker, explains, 'Although we are a relatively small company our technical and manufacturing skills mean that we compete with the best in the world for the production of plastic moulded child-resistant closures.

Our product range, which is continuously being developed, also includes child-resistant tamper evident closures and an award-winning child-resistant drop dispenser product.

This type of packaging, usually for the pharmaceutical and potentially hazardous goods markets, demands highly complex tooling which is innovative in terms of both design and production, but, in such a fast-moving market, product delivery times are vital too, so the ability of FSG to respond so rapidly was really valuable to us.' The two Welsh companies share more than a common location; they are both committed to a strategy of investing in the most advanced technology, providing their staff with the tools to deliver cost-effective innovative solutions to some of the world's most demanding customers.
