Investment and Expansion Equals Long-Term Success
We know that in order to realise success over the long term that we must invest in the future. That’s why we continue to embrace new technology and expand our operations. In 2008, we relocated to a new 20,000 sq ft freehold site on the Surrey/Hampshire border. This larger site provided us with added flexibility, allowing us to provide high-volume production as well as regular kanban orders as we continue to offer a comprehensive service for customers needing low-volume and one-off models.
The Machinery Required For Jobs Large and Small
FB-AVAK offers an impressive number of vacuum forming machines – 12 in all – ranging in size from 500mm x 300mm up to 2.0m x 1.2m. Our four 5-axis CNC machining centres, as well as a fully-equipped pattern shop allows us to offer a complete service. We utilise both traditional and modern tool-making methods, combining the best of both worlds to create superior products for family-run businesses to blue chip corporations.

Vacuum Forming
At FB-AVAK we have been specialising in vacuum forming for over 40 years.
Assembly
Our vacuum forming service does not stop at moulding and trimming. At FB-AVAK some of the products we manufacture will require finishing and assembly and we have a broad range of processes available.
Prototyping & Production
The key to a successful moulding is good product design with vacuum forming capabilities designed in at an early stage, so the earlier we can become involved the more streamlined the process will be.
CNC Machining
We have invested in four 5-axis CNC macines in capacity from 1.0m x 1.0m up to 1.5m x 1.0m. The nature of the 5 axis head allows complex shapes to be machined accurately time after time.
