in the Sale & Worldwide distribution of a wide range of Italian
Plastic Processing Machinery and Tripleplas were offered the opportunity
of representing them in the UK on a selected number of these product
lines; Injection Moulding Machines, Extrusion, Bag Making &
Rotary Injection Moulding Machines.
In 1973 Tripleplas Tools Ltd was formed and rapid progress was made
in supplying package deals of Injection Moulding machines and Moulds,
with Tripleplas Tools Ltd building a well equipped Toolroom to supply
the Tools to suit its range of Plastijet Injection Moulding machines,
which were manufactured by the Italian Plastifin Group.
The
same type of package deal was used in conjunction with the Presma
Rotary Injection Moulding machines and this resulted in a large
number of Machines & Tools being supplied to the Shoe, Brush
& Furniture Industries.
