From the administrators' statement
BPL was incorporated on 6 July 1951 and operated from its leasehold property at Wheelbarrow Park Estate, Pattenden Lane, Marden, Kent TN12 9QJ. The Company's principal activity was the manufacture of plastic products and specialised in the development and manufacture of mould tools, plastic injection moulded components and assembly of complex components in a range of polymer technologies for the medical and technical sectors. BPL held the ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 accreditations.
BPL’s engineering expertise used the latest technology, ensuring that consistent and superior quality products were produced. The business differentiated itself by providing additional services to customers such as managing Regulatory Affairs for customer products, either by supporting customer queries or handling the full technical file including specialist registrations.
In 2016 BPL opened a new leasehold £4.6m state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, bringing the total size of the facility to approx. 80,000 sq ft. BPL had 39 moulding machines ranging from 50 to 850 tonnes and had a bespoke facility with ISO Class 7 Cleanroom Environments.
