Peerless Plastics & Coatings, a leader in protective hard coating solutions, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Bowles & Walker Ltd, a specialist in precision injection moulding. This collaboration enhances the injection moulding services already offered by Peerless, delivering a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for customers in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and security.
With over 50 years of experience, Bowles & Walker has built a strong reputation for high-quality, bespoke injection moulding. Their expertise in design, tooling, and production complements Peerless Plastics & Coatings’ advanced protective coatings, which improve the durability, scratch resistance, anti-microbial, anti-glare, anti-static, and anti-fog properties of plastic components. Additionally, Peerless boasts a full CNC machine shop and fabrication services, enabling the production of high-precision, custom plastic components that can be coated for enhanced performance. Peerless also operates a state-of-the-art in-house print department, featuring large-format flatbed printers.
