The name Ensinger is synonymous with a broad range of production techniques capable of processing thermoplastic stock shapes in a wide variety of material choices under one roof. It is often the material or the end product, that determines the processing method used. Whether it be for large scale volumes or small production runs; large and bulky or small and delicate parts - our engineering plastic stock shapes can be purchased in standard unmodified grades, in addition to a variety of modified grades to fit your application.
In the UK, we hold an extensive stock of over 100 high performance and engineering plastic materials in standard stock shapes, manufactured using a variety of production processes, including extrusion, casting, compression moulding and sintering. We have the expertise to meet our client’s demands and commitment to supply their requirements. In many instances this comes ahead of receiving an order with expert engineers on hand to advise and work with you on the best route forward, developing new solutions if required.
By operating 5 branches throughout the UK, our Stock Shapes Division is able to efficiently provide services for customers no matter where they are located. This allows for the fast and reliable distribution of high performance and engineering plastic materials. Furthermore, our customers can rest easy, safe in the knowledge that our products are fully compliant with stringent quality standards.
Our product portfolio contains materials with a variety of different declarations, which include the following areas:

As requested by our customers, we have checked and qualified a large share of our materials against required specifications. We can qualify additional materials on request. Due to the special requirements of the aerospace industry, Ensinger takes on responsibility for: raw materials receipt inspections, raw materials specifications, composition specifications for individual articles, final inspections, issuing of inspection certificates, and much more.
Attaining food grade plastic compliant with the stringent demands of FDA and European Food Contact regulations, is nowadays a key requirement for thermoplastics machining operators in this industry. Ensinger offers this solution: alongside our engineering thermoplastic standard portfolio, we also offer a special portfolio of food contact materials, fulfilling the specific demands of food technology in terms of safety and performance.
Ensinger produces a wide range of plastics, which are predominantly used for mechanical applications and components of industrial machines. The field of mechanical engineering is traditionally focused on steel and metal alloys in order to achieve high mechanical strength and precision of the parts. Nowadays, replacing metal with engineering plastics is common due to their wide range of benefits. High performance plastics can offer a solution where other traditional materials fail, opening up the doors to improvement and progress.
The wide range of Ensinger medical grade (MT) materials offers designers a choice of options to develop innovative medical products, which provide a high degree of safety and added value. The different manufacturing methods used by Ensinger, such as extrusion, machining, injection
The industry demands of high temperature, mechanical strength and chemical resistance call for the need of materials suitable for the most extreme environments. With extensive experience in the oil and gas field, Ensinger work closely with customers to achieve the optimum solution to fit their application needs. Technical material experts can provide customers with a qualified material recommendation which can be confirmed by practical testing.
