The mould making industry within the United Kingdom has traditionally grown up alongside the plastic moulding industry. In fact the two industries are almost identical in the way that companies have spawned and grown up together, both being reliant on each other. This has been the strength and the weakness of the industries - when times are good, both prosper but when one industry suffers so does the other. This is because the majority of both types of companies are small - usually owner operated - with turnovers of less than £2 million employing around 10 - 30 people, they also have a small customer and supplier bases from which the turnover is generated.
