OGM is dedicated to excellence in the development, manufacture
and supply of high quality technical plastic mouldings and assemblies.
Our highly experienced team is able to offer a complete service
and Total Manufacturing Solution from the design concept through to volume
production. We provide design consultancy, prototyping, tooling, plastic injection
moulding, cleanroom injection moulding (class 7/10,000 cleanrooms), assembly
and added value processes.
Oxfordshire based OGM was founded in 1962 and has an enviable record of long customer relationships
with leading blue chip companies in the medical, electronic and general industrial
fields.
Our manufacturing plant is designed to meet the exacting standards of the
medical and electronics industries and uses a high degree of automation to
ensure world class productivity. Daily shift performance monitoring systems
are in operation and company Key Performance Indicators are published within
the plant. These ensure all staff focus on and are aware of our targets and
of our Continuous Improvement goals.
Our 19 machines range in size from 15 to 400 tonnes and, with over 40 years experience in technical moulding, we have expertise in the processing of most thermoplastic materials.
- OGM's Quality System is accredited to ISO9001:2000 and ISO13485:2003.
- Advanced Quality Planning techniques such as FMEA, Control Plans, Capability
Studies and Initial Sample Report/PPAP are utilised prior to customer approval
of new products.
- Work Instructions, Visual Aids, SPC Charts and gauges are prepared for
use in production.
- In addition to measurement by vernier and micrometer OGM has a contact
and non-contact co-ordinate measuring machine for obtaining accurate measurements
in three dimensions.
- For Medical applications, product and environmental bioburden monitoring
is performed.
Design and Development

We offer our
injection expertise in design for manufacture to ensure the most robust design solution for your project. Our engineers' involvement in the design process at the earliest possible stage provides a vital platform for a successfully designed component; a product that meets all your requirements and is manufactured reliably at the lowest cost and highest quality.
Mouldflow analysis is carried out on all components to optimise feed locations
and fill patterns. Our sophisticated Tool Project Management System enables
us to handle complex proposals for new tools from the CAD stage through to
production sign-off. This system provides complete reporting from the point
at which an order is placed and covers the design review process, tool specification,
GA approvals stage, sampling and modification stages and continues to full
part approval.
During the tool build we report progress either weekly or fortnightly via
Timing Plans. After the tool has gone into production all Tool Reports relating
to work on the tool during its lifetime are compiled as an archive within
the system. Consequently, a record of the complete status and history of a
tool from order placement to the end of its production life is available both
for you and for OGM. This close monitoring of tools and management of the
data enables us to continuously update our knowledge and improve our design,
moulding and engineering practices.
Tool Making
Our new purpose built Toolroom, completed in 2004, produces new tools for
customers and provides an essential maintenance and repair service for tools
already in production. The toolroom also fabricates prototype and development
mould tools and jigs, fixtures and gauges for production.
The wealth of experience of our toolmakers adds value to the design consultancy
and tooling development functions; they are consulted as part of the process
and contribute their views from a toolmaking perspective. The toolroom is
equipped with all the principal toolmaking capabilities of spark erosion,
CNC machinery, wire erosion and grinding and turning.
In addition to our in-house toolroom, we have very close relationships with subcontract toolmaking companies. When producing new tools in this way, the Design and Tooling department monitor projects thoroughly, with close reference to the Project Management systems that have been developed.
We are able to add value to plastic mouldings in the following ways:
- Printing.
- Sonic welding assembly of plastic components and of filter materials to plastic components.
- Manual assembly of components to build up subassemblies or finished assemblies.
- Packing.
- Sterilisation.
- Inserting; triserts and heat staking.
- Labelling.
- Pressure/Vacuum testing of hermetic seals.
Our Engineering Department perform Process Mapping, MOST analysis, jig design
and line layout design as part of setting up any new assembly process after
which test runs and process improvement take place. This ensures that the
line layout is optimised and that targets are established, against which we
monitor output.
Through this approach to our projects, we aim to achieve World Class outputs
and provide the lowest cost of assembly manufacture for our customers.
