I visited a company called Arnold Engineering Plastics in Moulton Park last week as part of my ongoing support for small and medium sized businesses in Northampton.
This company was established in the 1960’s and they manufacture for the plastic industry. They make a huge variety of plastic goods, ranging from vinyl advertising covers for buses and cars to riot shields for police, to furniture and decorative items. They have just invested in a brand new piece of advanced machinery which will improve productivity.
They employ nearly 50 people locally and I am always happy to support manufacturing in our town. Manufacturing nationally has increased massively in the last four years.
