Wydale Plastics

What Wydale Plastics does

Wydale Plastics Limited is a UK-based rotational moulding manufacturer headquartered in Crewkerne, Somerset, operating as a private limited company (Company No. 02823704). The company produces a broad portfolio of plastic tanks and agricultural equipment through rotational moulding, including water storage tanks (4-litre compact units up to 1,000-litre sprinkler tanks), sprayer tanks for ATV applications, calf and livestock feeding equipment (multi-teat group feeders, single and twin bucket feeders, lamb/kid feeders), milk mixers across 110L to 620L capacities in static, trailed-petrol, and trailed-electric/battery-pump configurations, ATV accessories, and a fast-growing line of vehicle-specific campervan water tanks (wheel arch, underslung, and in-vehicle). It also offers contract moulding services spanning inception, design, tooling, and finished product, with a stated worldwide dispatch capability. Customer segments include agricultural operations and campervan converters as primary verticals, with industrial liquid storage and the ATV accessory market as secondary segments.

The core manufacturing technology is rotational moulding, with a vertically integrated process covering Computer Aided Design (2D plans and 3D renderings), in-house bespoke tool-making from sheets of steel, polymer processing using medium density polyethylene powder (with polypropylene and recycled polyethylene options), oven heating with simultaneous rotation, and cooling and finishing to specification. Certain potable water applications use WRAS-approved polymer. The company holds a core development partnership with CJL Leisure Vehicles for co-developed campervan underslung tanks and stainless steel bracket sets. No patents, trademarks, or regulatory actions are disclosed, and no AI/ML capabilities are referenced; the technology stack is conventional industrial manufacturing.

Wydale operates primarily direct-to-consumer through its e-commerce website (wydaleplastics.co.uk), email-based order capture, customer collection from the Somerset premises, and worldwide delivery. Revenue is generated through two streams: one-time product sales across the rotomoulded portfolio and professional-services contract moulding for bespoke projects. Pricing is predominantly quote-based with a few listed retail prices visible online (e.g., the 220 Litre static milk mixer at £1,300+VAT). The company maintains a digital presence on Instagram (@wydale_plastics) and Facebook (WydalePlastics) and has no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or acquisition activity.
