What Solution Plastics does

Solution Plastics Ltd is a privately held UK-based plastic manufacturer headquartered in Catfield, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, with 11-50 employees. The company specializes in high frequency plastic welding, a process that uses radio waves to bond pliable plastic materials, specifically flexible PVC and polyurethane (PU). It operates two complementary lines of business: a branded consumer product range centered on the Puzzle Snug jigsaw puzzle carriers (1500, 2000, and 3000 piece versions), and a third-party custom manufacturing service that produces bespoke plastic-welded items for other businesses, including nursery products (baby changing mats, cot mattresses), stationery clipboards, solar stills, and human body bags. All manufacturing is carried out 100% in the UK.

On the commercial side, Solution Plastics sells its consumer products directly to end customers through its own puzzlesnug.co.uk e-commerce storefront, Amazon UK, Amazon US/Canada, and eBay UK, giving it a hybrid direct-to-consumer and marketplace distribution model with reach into Europe and North America. The custom manufacturing business serves business-to-business customers on a project basis, with no disclosed pricing, minimum order quantities, or named accounts. Marketing spend is described as minimal, with the company relying on product quality as its primary commercial lever. Head of Product Development Steve Woolston anchors the technical capability, with over 39 years of plastic welding industry experience. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, partnerships, M&A activity, certifications, patents, or AI/ML capabilities in the source data.
