Westley Plastics is the UK’s leading manufacture of cast nylon and plastic components. Westley Plastics was established in 1964 as a complementary business to Westley Group, Europe’s largest non-ferrous foundry group. The original business was set up to produce fabric bearings into the steel industry as a replacement for heavier brass and bronze components. Cast nylon became an increasingly large part of the business and in 1985 Westley Plastics commissioned its nylon plant.
