Turning ideas into products

Parallax Plastics Ltd is a UK-based Father and Daughter team, Phil and Anna. Together they have been designing and manufacture plastic products for the past 15 years. The products are manufactured by injection or rotational moulding processes all in the UK. Parallax specialise in producing Equestrian, and Winter products (namely plastic sledges) as well as offering products for the DIY market and garden ranges .

As specialists in the Equestrian industry, Parallax Plastics have identified a need, designed, and created a product. View our case study on the hay play here..

Beyond our expertise in the Equestrian sector, Parallax Plastics stands as the largest manufacturer and supplier of plastic sledges to high street retailers. Our sledges are manufactured with the retailer in mind. Our space saving design allows to maximise space in store and ship economically with a very quick turnaround.
