Oxford Plastics Reports Record Growth
Oxford Plastics, a leading innovator and manufacturer of site safety equipment, has revealed it has had its most successful period to-date with a record-breaking turnover of $32 million.
The UK-based company, which has been running for over 35 years, announced its recent success for the financial year of 2022, as it positions itself into the new year with even greater growth planned.
Despite a dynamic global market, Oxford Plastics, which has its headquarters in Oxfordshire, England, continued to expand into the tough USA market in 2022 with its innovative and durable site safety products which present significant sustainability and carbon reduction benefits.
These products include the LowPro Trench Covers, road plates and temporary fencing.
The strategic recruitment of key positions in both the UK and the US has played a pivotal role in Oxford Plastics’ success.
The team’s expansion has been concentrated across vital departments, including commercial, operations, logistics, and customer care, with a total of 38 new hires being created. These new hires bring diverse expertise to the Oxford Plastics family, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering industry-leading service and innovative solutions to its growing customer base.
In 2023, Oxford Plastics USA announced the hire of new Business Develop Manager Mike Riley, who has been spearheading efforts to grow the company’s presence in the Northeastern United States.
Oxford Plastics USA operates four warehouses strategically located in South Carolina, Texas, California, and Rhode Island, ensuring efficient and reliable stock availability across the country.
Riley’s role will also involve collaborating with distribution partners to drive market demand and support Oxford Plastics’ mission to deliver innovative products to the construction and utility sectors.
With a focus on reducing the environmental impact, noise levels, and providing a safer, lightweight product to increase productivity, Oxford Plastics offers versatile and innovative solutions for the construction and utility industries. The company’s flagship products, including the LowPro 23/05 composite road plate and the LowPro 15/10 pedestrian trench cover with ADA ramps, are gaining attention in the US market due to their safety, reliability, and eco-friendly features.
Currently, the Low Pro 15/10 has been signed off in New York City, Georgia State, Las Vegas, Chicago and Utilities Companies Con Edison, National Grid, People’s Gas, Pacific Gas 7 Electric and Atlanta Gas have also approved the product, with many more in the approval pipeline.
Andy Burns, Managing Director of Oxford Plastics said: “This past year has been another hugely successful year in OPS and a further step forward in our performance. We delivered against our ambitious goals, by strengthening our service promise to our customers, and by continuing to invest in our people and the organization. As a team we love to win, and we will do it again in 2024 as there is still so much more to come. Thank you to everyone for their support in making it happen.”
