Automotive
In the automotive industry, every component must perform flawlessly, whether it’s a safety‑critical part under the bonnet or a visible trim piece that shapes the driver’s experience.
So, your business needs a moulding partner who understands the pressures of compliance, cost efficiency and consistent quality.
With more than 85 years of technical expertise, Talisman Group supports automotive manufacturers across the UK and internationally with precision thermoset and thermoplastic mouldings. From lightweight interior parts to heat‑resistant housings, you gain components engineered to meet the rigorous standards of modern vehicles.
Our UK‑based facilities combine advanced injection and compression moulding technology with sector‑specific knowledge, helping you bring your products to market quickly and with confidence.
Our automotive moulding capabilities
Our presses can cover everything from small precision parts to large mouldings, giving you the flexibility to scale production without changing suppliers. Our automotive moulding services include:
Thermoset moulding
Ideal for components exposed to high temperatures and mechanical stress, including housings, insulators and fluid transfer parts that must retain their integrity in demanding conditions.
Thermoplastic moulding
Our thermoplastics offer flexibility, recyclability and visual finish. They’re widely used for interior and exterior components, including pedals, switches, trims, bumpers, covers and lighting housings.

Frequently asked questions
What types of automotive components can you mould?
We manufacture everything from small precision switches and pedals to larger exterior mouldings such as bumpers and lighting housings. Each part is produced to tight tolerances so you can rely on consistent fit and performance across every batch.
Do you support both thermoset and thermoplastic materials?
Yes. Thermosets are valued for their strength, rigidity and heat resistance, making them ideal for under‑the‑hood applications. Thermoplastics, by contrast, are lightweight, versatile and recyclable, which makes them a strong choice for interior and exterior parts. Our team works with you to identify the right material for your project, balancing performance, cost and sustainability.
Can you meet OEM quality standards like PPAP?
Absolutely. Our processes are aligned with PPAP, 6 Sigma and 8D methodologies. This ensures every component meets the strict quality and compliance requirements of the automotive sector.
Can you handle prototypes as well as high‑volume runs?
Yes. Smaller runs are often the best way to validate a design before scaling up. We can support you at every stage, from prototype through to mass production, so you don’t need to switch suppliers as your requirements grow.
How do you ensure durability in demanding environments?
Durability comes from a combination of factors: careful material selection, advanced process control and rigorous testing. All our components are engineered to withstand heat, vibration and long‑term use. Our decades of moulding expertise and modern quality management systems give you confidence that every part will perform reliably in the field, even under the most demanding conditions.
Do you supply internationally?
Yes. While production is UK‑based, we regularly ship components to clients across Europe, North America and beyond.
