Work with Barkston
We are not a commodity supplier. We are an engineering partner.
Our customers work with us because we understand plastics at a material level, manufacture with control and consistency, and deliver components that perform as intended over the long term. Much of our work is repeat business, supporting ongoing programmes rather than one-off jobs.
If performance matters and failure is costly, Barkston is built to support you.
