FB-AVAK

Vacuum Forming & Plastic Fabrication based in Bordon, Hampshire.
The business founded as Fenwood Bowen Limited in 1949 remains in family ownership. Over the years we have continued to grow with customers in many different industries with a wide product knowledge and a creative and flexible approach to manufacturing challenges. We continue to embrace new technology and invest in our future. This culminated recently in our acquisition of Avak Mpp to form FB-AVAK.

We have been specialising in vacuum forming for over 40 years. Our latest PLC controlled machines give us a moulding capacity of up to 2m x 1.2m with a depth of draw of 500mm and in material up to 10mm thick. At the other end of the scale our small machines allow us to produce much smaller mouldings often used in multi impression tooling, and here we can start to challenge the viability of alternative volume production processes.

Whether you have an application for an electronics potting shell or PCB enclosure or a wheel arch for a commercial vehicle the vacuum forming process gives you a great deal of flexibility. Depending upon production volumes we can produce multiple tooling in a number of different formats. Unlike other moulding systems we can always add more tools at a later stage should demand for your products increase. This means we can keep the start up costs to a minimum and still be competitive as volumes rise.

This enhanced flexibility means our customer base includes large blue chip organisations as well as small family run businesses. Whatever size or application you have in mind we can provide a cost effective solution. We are happy to be involved at the concept stage in your development and by involving us early on in the design process we can ensure that the parts can be manufactured in an efficient and cost effective way. You’ll find the management team at FB-AVAK enthusiastic to deal with and we always ensure that customer service is our number one priority.
