Rotational moulding company Rototek Ltd used a Knowledge Transfer Partnership to tap into our 3D design technology expertise to aid the development of new products.

Rototek has offered a rotational moulding service for clients since 1993, thanks to its custom-built, state-of-the-art rotational moulding machine. It collaborated with our design and technology department to develop an in-house industrial design capability in order to be able to design and make new products for a wide client base.
