Core offering

Partwell Group manufactures bespoke CNC-machined plastic components from engineering and high-performance plastics (including nylon, acetal, PTFE, polyethylene, PEEK, and PVC), and distributes die-making and press cutting machinery (from Serviform, Cutlite Penta, and Schoen + Sandt) along with associated cutting boards, rule blades, and consumables. The company also offers reverse engineering of discontinued OEM parts, field engineering maintenance, and technical support for die-making equipment. Standard lead times are 7-14 days, with emergency turnaround available.

Product overview

Partwell Group operates as a plastic engineering company offering a unified portfolio of products and services across three core areas: (1) CNC Machined Plastics service for precision fabrication of engineering and high-performance plastics including PEEK, PTFE, UHMWPE, and standard engineering plastics; (2) Laser Machines product line featuring Cutlite Penta brand equipment for laser cutting of plastic materials; (3) Die Making Machines product line featuring Serviform brand equipment for die-making applications; and (4) Press Cutting Machines product line featuring Schoen + Sandt brand equipment. The company also supplies plastic sheet and rod materials and provides reverse engineering and bespoke project services. Together these form an integrated offering for industrial plastic component manufacturing.
