THE SAME SHIREBROOK TEAM

Now with More Resources

By integrating our Shirebrook injection moulding facility directly into JET PRESS, we can now offer a more seamless experience and a vastly expanded product range.

    • The Same Team: You still have access to the same technical expertise and manufacturing specialists you’ve known for years.
    • The Same Facility: Our Shirebrook site continues to operate with its full range of 25 to 200-tonne Arburg machines, ensuring continuity of quality.
    • More Choice: In addition to bespoke injection moulding, you now have direct access to the massive JET PRESS catalogue of industrial fasteners and hardware.
    • Enhanced Innovation: Combined engineering resources mean faster prototyping and more cost-efficient tooling solutions for your projects.
    • Kitting & Assembly: New investment has built a flexible, reactive assembly team capable of handling complex kitting and secondary operations in-house.

A Personal Note from James Gilbert - Manufacturing Manager

"Acorn Mouldings has always been more than just a business to my family; it’s a legacy started by my father that my brother and I have been proud to carry forward.

As we move into this new chapter as JET PRESS (Shirebrook) Limited, my priority remains exactly the same: delivering the precision injection moulding and personal service you’ve come to expect from us. Joining forces with JET PRESS isn't about changing who we are;  it's about giving our Shirebrook team the backing and resources to serve you even better.

I’m still here on the ground, and I’m excited about what we can achieve together for your next project."
