Advanced Plastics Group (APG) is pleased to announce the launch of its new Design & Innovation Service, providing comprehensive design and product development solutions to businesses across a wide range of industries.
Based at the University of Lincoln, APG Design & Innovation offers advanced CAD and product development services to both existing and new customers. This latest addition to APG’s capabilities reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting businesses at every stage of their product journey.
Comprehensive Product Development & Prototyping
APG Design & Innovation follows the well-established Product Design Specification (PDS) approach, utilising proven tools and methodologies to ensure product designs align with functional, commercial, and manufacturing requirements. This structured process provides businesses with a clear pathway from concept development to full-scale production.
The service also includes in-house 3D printing and collaboration with external partners to provide rapid prototyping in various materials and finishes. This capability enables businesses to test and refine designs before committing to full-scale production.
Beyond Plastics – A Fully Integrated, Manufacturing-Focused Solution
Unlike traditional design consultancies, APG Design & Innovation extends beyond plastics, offering a turnkey service that includes hardware and electronics supply through an approved network of trusted supply chain partners. This holistic approach allows for seamless integration of all product components, streamlining the transition from concept to market-ready product.
As part of a leading UK plastic manufacturing company, APG Design &Innovation ensures that all product designs are developed with manufacturability in mind. Equal emphasis is placed on both the aesthetic and functional aspects of design as well as production feasibility, cost-efficiency, and scalability.
With three manufacturing facilities across the UK specialising in injection moulding and subcontract assembly, this new service from the Advanced Plastics Group provides a direct and efficient transition from prototype to mass production. By integrating product development with in-house manufacturing capabilities, the service helps businesses accelerate time-to-market while eliminating the disconnect often experienced when moving from theoretical design to production.
Expertise & Industry Reach
Using the 30+ years of experience within the moulding group, APG Design &Innovation is uniquely positioned to support both innovators and established businesses in bringing their product visions to life. Whether developing entirely new products or optimising existing designs, the service offers tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of each client.
APG Design & Innovation works with businesses across various sectors, including automotive, communications, consumer products, defence, electronics, industrial safety, lighting, medical, and sustainable packaging. This breadth of industry expertise ensures tailored design solutions that meet sector-specific requirements.
