Description
CHX Products Limited (CHX) is a leading UK manufacturer of recycled plastic promotional products printed in full colour. The company has come a long way since its origins in 1997. Since we first started, we have made close to half a billion items for thousands of customers in the UK and abroad.
We have a wide range of standard products available in eight colours on a fast 10 day service. Our high-quality products include trolley tokens, badges, keyrings, fridge magnets and flying discs, along with items for the automotive, travel, leisure, conference, stationery and home environments
We are looking to invest in two (2) new state of the art injection moulding machines. We have remained fully operational throughout the pandemic and due to unprecedented increases in our forward order book, we need to increase the yield and output from our injection moulding process. In order to do this, we need to invest in additional injection moulding machines. These newer machines will be better automated, more energy efficient, and capable of processing more material per hour than any of our existing machines.
The purchase of these injection moulding machines is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. We will compare tenders received on a compliance basis and make an award based on the lowest compliant tender or the tender response that is the most economically advantageous.
