New Ontario molder unites multiple processes

Milton, Ont.-based thermoformer Custom Vacform Components Inc. is consolidating a series of recently acquired plastic processors to create NS Technologies Group Inc., a multi-processing custom molding firm.

According to a news release, NS Technologies will offer vacuum forming, thermoforming, injection molding and rotational molding. 

Custom Vacform Components will shift injection molding from three separate Toronto-area firms — Horn Plastics Inc. of Whitby, Automatic Plastics Inc. of Pickering, and GGS Plastic Engineering Inc. of Bolton — into Horn’s facility. 

The vacuum and rotational division, consolidated in Milton, takes in Custom Vacform as well as rotational molding operations acquired from Urban Images Inc. and portions of Iceland’s Promens hf.

While each of those companies is united under the NS Technologies structure, the company will also retain the individual firms’ names under the corporate umbrella.

According to the news release, NS Technologies will use the overall corporate identity to offer existing customers of the individual firms access to a wider variety of processes within one company, while also allowing the individual companies to take advantage of sister firms’ contacts to seek out new business.
