Alternative Plastics

Alternative Plastics has been manufacturing and supplying plastic to numerous industries, Australia wide for over 20 years. The precise manufacturing techniques we employ have been proudly handed down from one generation of tradesman to another. Our company’s foundations are based on this in-depth machining know-how combined with the latest-generation technology.

The increasing need for other materials have provided Alternative with an opportunity to offer their customers more. Operating under the banner of Alternative Engineering, we now manufacture and supply an expanded range of materials, including metals, rubber and polyurethane to multiple industries Australia wide.

At Alternative we have Australia’s largest dedicated manufacturing facility for providing machined, precision components. We design, produce and assemble what experts agree to be the most precise components in Australia.

Plastic Design Innovation

While we treasure our traditions, it is the future that inspires us. Plastic design innovation is the true driving force of the company. We are passionately dedicated to creative Research and Development. We also develop the very latest technology for use throughout the manufacturing process – wherever it can demonstrably improve the quality and reliability of our components.

The fact that we have been granted "the Leader in Engineering Plastics" is testament of this policy. Groundbreaking plastic design innovations are at the heart of Alternative Plastics and this motivates us to uphold the challenge of bringing exciting and practical products to life year after year.

Tradition

Alternative Plastics is a true “component manufacturer” meaning that we control all stages in the making of our components from design, production, assembly, completion and distribution.

The uniquely comprehensive nature of our production method has many important benefits. Certain traditional skills and tools, which have not changed for numerous years, can still be used on a daily basis. The experience and know-how of our master machinist's is passed on to new generations.

We certify that all of our components have been made in this tradition.

Technology: inventing the future

Alternative Plastics has always placed great emphasis on the development of new components, technologies, manufacturing processes, searching for new materials, and is always looking for new ideas and visions.

Therefore independently of the development of new components, Alternative Plastics has established a special division that focuses exclusively on new technologies and materials. This division, called “New Tech” closely cooperates with our clients. Learning and understanding from our components is what they require.

Just like all of its other innovations, Alternative Plastics is harnessing the new polymer technology and foremost is aiming to craft even better, more precise and more reliable components. Alternative Plastics has presented many revolutionary developments within the unique “Alternative Plastics Advanced Research“ concept.
