Our History
1983
Anderside Tools Ltd was started on 1 May 1983 by the present Managing Director, Hugh McKinnon. The initial aim was to supply a specialised mould design and mould making service to the injection moulding industry.
This service was extended to include a mould repair and modification option. At the same time an inhouse moulding facility was established for tool try out and product development.
1991
In 1991 a separate company was formed to provide production injection moulding services. Anderside was now able to offer its clients a full range of plastic injection moulding services from design, including mould flow, prototyping and mould making to injection moulding.
1993
In 1993 an expansion programme was initiated in Anderside which resulted in the factory area being doubled in size and additional machinery being purchased resulting in the workforce doubling to 40 people. At this point a precision machining service was offered to the Oil and Gas Industry using CNC Milling and EDM equipment
