Harviglass has been at the forefront of GRP moulding since the late 50's when the concept of combining, the then new, polymer resins with fibres made from one of the oldest manufactured materials known to man, was first developed. But even with over 40 years experience behind us we still feel we are just beginning to tap the enormous potential of this truly unique material.

Harviglass has a reputation for innovation, imagination and inspiration and this, combined with a determined focus on quality, value and extraordinary service, has given scope to our company in almost every sphere of industry and commerce. This is supported by an expanding core of satisfied customers who remain loyal in spite of the inevitable challenges by competitors.

The name Harviglass comes from the early days of our existence when the company was part of the world-renowned tool making firm, J. J. Harvey (Pressurecast) Ltd. of Denton, Manchester. 'HARVIGLASS' was the trade name used by their reinforced plastics division. In 1968 the company took the decision to focus specifically on metal tool making, while one of the directors, Harry Hargreaves, took the decision to set up a division as an independent company concentrating on developing the potential of GRP moulding. More than 30 years later the agenda remains the same.

Exciting developments over the years have often been pioneered by HARVIGLASS personnel, and it is our dedicated aim to continue to 'push the envelope' and maintain our position and reputation in what we see as an infinite worldwide market.
