From crafting moulded chocolate hollows, like the iconic Percy Pig for Marks & Spencer, to manufacturing precision moulded car parts for luxury brands such as Land Rover and Jaguar, our expertise spans diverse markets. Our commitment to first-class customer satisfaction, offering value for money, and innovative problem-solving is at the core of everything we do.

Overview

A Desire to Innovate...

At DPS, we leverage our extensive experience, continuous innovation, and investment in the latest technologies to deliver exceptional results. Whether you need thermoform tooling for the aircraft industry or injection moulds for chocolate manufacturing, we pride ourselves on thinking outside the box to meet your unique needs. Our dedicated team is always here to help, ensuring that every project is completed with the highest standards of quality and precision.

If you need a unique shape made, measured, replicated, or prototyped, be it in chocolate, aluminium, or almost any material, we've got you covered. Reach out today with your project details to receive a free consultancy on your brief, and we'll handle the rest. Our goal is to simplify the process for you and tackle challenges using our wide knowledge base, delivering a perfectly designed end product that exudes quality—all within a tight lead time.

We listen, we consider, we deliver.

Our Team

Family Values...

The DPS family has grown over the years to become approximately 40 members of staff from the local community, including supporting several school leavers who have enrolled on our apprentice scheme. Our staff come from all backgrounds and walks of life, but all have numerous things in common – including a desire to produce top quality work, efficiently and on time.

Our founders are still at the heart of the business, inspiring DPS to keep innovating and pushing the boundaries where projects seem impossible to find solutions that work. Whilst the team has grown significantly since 1995 when it all began, at the core of DPS the family values are kept strong and our working manner is key to the success of our team and the projects we work across.
