GOODFISH GROUP
Goodfish produces insert moulded parts for the automotive, HVAC and electrical sectors. We manufacture at three UK sites certified to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. Our process supports accurate insert placement, strong bonding and reliable part quality.
Insert moulding is a process where plastic is moulded around a pre-placed metal insert, such as a threaded component or pin.
At Goodfish, we support insert moulding from the start of the project. We help customers refine designs so inserts stay in place, materials bond correctly and tools work as expected. Our team controls every stage of production to keep parts consistent and avoid delays.
Tooling Support
We work with you to shape the part and tool around the insert. That helps prevent issues with placement, ejection or bonding before production begins.
Insert Handling
Inserts are loaded by hand or automation, depending on the part and tool. Our setup makes sure they stay secure and clean during moulding.
Process Control
We monitor every stage of the job. That includes mould settings, insert position and part condition at the point of release.
Production Focus
We support companies that need high-volume output with repeatable results. Insert moulding is built into our day-to-day production, not handled as a side job.
Industry Experience
We supply insert moulded parts to manufacturers across the automotive, HVAC and electrical sectors. These projects often require tight tolerances and full batch control.
Manual and automated insert loading
We place inserts by hand or with automation, depending on the part design and required output. Each method is supported by process controls to keep the insert secure and correctly aligned.
Tooling and setup support
Our team checks tool layouts to make sure inserts fit without causing damage or misalignment. We also support changes where needed to help the tool run cleanly at production volumes.
Plastic and insert compatibility
We mould over a range of in mould inserts, including threaded, knurled and custom metal components. Our team advises on material selection to support strong bonding and clean release from the tool.
Consistent batch quality
We monitor insert position and part finish during every run. This helps reduce the risk of movement, short shots or stress points around the insert.
Built for production
Unlike some insert moulding companies that focus on low volumes or manual processes, we support manufacturers who need consistent output at scale. Insert moulding is a key capability within our wider injection moulding service, supported by tooling expertise and controlled production.
