DISPATCH

Richard Grant Mouldings operates from a 30,000 sq.ft (2787m2) factory in Leighton Buzzard UK, which is approximately 35 miles (56 km) north of London and 10 miles (16 km) south of Milton Keynes. London Luton Airport is 12 miles (19 km) away and London Heathrow 35 miles (56 km).

RGM started business in the 1960s and during the previous 50 years has developed products for the automotive industry. The aerospace division of the company was opened 20 years ago and has been expanding year on year.

Today RGM is a highly specialised moulding company which designs and manufactures a vast range of automobile accessories and aerospace products. A complete ‘in-house’ service is available and a new project can be undertaken from concept through to production in a matter of weeks. A ‘quick route to market’ being essential in today’s competitive market.

Aerospace DivisionTwenty years ago RGM entered into the aerospace business, and today manufactures over 8,000 specific parts. These products are developed for all sections of the aircraft interior which includes food trays, trolley guards, video surrounds, arm rests, life jacket holders, centre consoles, first class beds and bases, seat dividers, side shrouds, emergency lighting covers and many galley parts. RGM mould products from the following high grade plastic materials which conform to CAA specifications:

• Polycarbonate (Makrolon, Lexan, Margard, F2000-F6000)

• ABS and Acrylic Capped ABS• Mirrored Products (Acrylic, Polycarbonate, PETG, Styrene)

• Ultem• Aerform• Kydex• R57• Boltaron RGM supplies mouldings for the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers and operators, including Boeing Aircraft Corporation, Airbus Industries, British Airways, Air China, Emirates Airways, Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, Air France, Lufthansa, KLM, Malaysian Airways, Qatar Airways, and many more.

RGM manufactures many products which are used in the latest Boeing Dreamliner and the Airbus A350 and A380 aircrafts.

Automotive DivisionToday’s car accessory market is totally different from the market of 50 years ago – having started with styling kits and numerous accessories today’s car manufacturers have improved the specification of their vehicles and it is now more difficult to bring new accessories to the market. RGM has overcome this problem by working closely with car manufacturers and car importers. Rearguards are just one of RGM’s recent new products which have been taken up by the manufacturers and importers. There are now over 550 vehicle specific applications and new models are constantly being added. Four colour options are available, black, silver, carbon look and the latest ‘brushed alloy look’. Other body protection products now include a large range of door sill protectors, wheel arch covers and PU body mouldings. RGM designs and manufactures products for many companies who ‘own brand’ and then sell on into the market. These products include fan cowls, complete dashboards, roof consoles, lighting products, air conditioning covers for RAC vans, battery covers, rally light retaining rings and body panels for the latest Pod Zero vehicles.

RGM also offers a CNC trimming service to other vacuum forming companies who do not have their own 5 axis CNC facility.
