P&M Plastics and Rubber

What P&M Plastics and Rubber does

P&M Plastics and Rubber is a Gold Coast-based custom plastic fabrication business operating from Burleigh Heads, Queensland, since 1991. It provides project-based manufacturing services — including multi-axis CNC routing, CO2 laser cutting, thermoplastic welding (hot air, extrusion, butt fusion, socket), vacuum forming, and precision acrylic bending/forming — for engineering plastics such as HDPE, Polypropylene, Acrylic/Perspex, Polycarbonate, PVC, UHMWPE, Acetal, Nylon, and PTFE. The business is legally held under HB Plastics Group PTY LTD and operates with 51–100 employees.

The company sells across three revenue streams: custom fabrication services (quote-based, no minimum order, one-off prototypes through production runs), material sales via the separate perspexonline.com.au e-commerce storefront, and finished custom products such as tanks, machine guards, sneeze guards, acrylic displays, and 3D letters. Pricing is project-specific, with a 24-hour standard quote turnaround and 48-hour dispatch on standard marine jobs.

It serves four primary vertical segments — Industrial & Manufacturing, Marine & Boating, Water Treatment & Plumbing, and Retail & Display — plus secondary segments in construction, transport/emergency services, automotive, and domestic. Geographic reach spans Southeast Queensland, Northern NSW, and Australia-wide via freight, with documented certifications including AS/NZS 4020 (drinking water), HACCP (food-grade), AS 1319 (safety signage), and EPA-compliant bunding. Marketing is sales-led via website, SEO, and direct phone/email quote capture, with a 4.7/5.0 rating across 133 customer reviews.
