Moulding for 60 years

Plastic injection moulding company OGM (Owen Greenings and Mumford Ltd) is celebrating an impressive milestone having achieved its 60th anniversary.

OGM was founded in Oxford in 1962 with one plastic injection moulding machine used to produce plastic door handles and a range of plastic tableware. Over the next 30 years, however, OGM grew rapidly as a trade moulding company, moving to larger premises a number of times to satisfy demand. In the 1990’s, OGM took a decision to specialise in plastic injection moulding for the electronics, medical and general industry sectors.

Paul Wightman, group managing director of Owen Greenings & Mumford (Holdings) said: “We have a strong heritage that underpins our company culture, values and how we do business. We’ve grown through a reputation for quality and reliability, technical excellence and flexibility but key to it all has been the forging of long lasting customer relationships.

“We’ve always been an innovative business since my dad, Bev Wightman, founded the company with his three business partners 60 years ago. Recently, through expansion, acquisition and from having a great team across all of our sites, we’ve expanded to offer full-service solutions to both local and global businesses.”

Over the last 10 years, a new factory at Yarnton, in Oxfordshire, with a state-of-theart cleanroom, a purpose built toolroom, a team of skilled engineers and experienced and dedicated workforce has helped OGM become one of the UK’s most innovative plastic injection moulding businesses. The company now offers product design, consultancy, prototyping, toolmaking, injection moulding, assembly and distribution of hundreds of millions of components every year.
