TH Plastics Celebrates Prestigious Win at Plastics Industry Awards 2025!

25 November 2025

TH Plastics is delighted to announce that we have been awarded Supplier Partnership – Auxiliary at the PIA 2025 ceremony, recognising our outstanding collaboration and project delivery in partnership with Counterplas.

The annual event, held this year at the Intercontinental Hotel at Park Lane, London on Friday evening, brought together leading professionals from across the plastics industry. Since its inception in 2001, the PIA ceremony has served as a benchmark for excellence, celebrating innovation, quality and exceptional contributions across a highly competitive sector.

In 2024, Counterplas engaged TH Plastics to support their continued expansion and operational improvements by designing and delivering a bespoke material handling solution. The project centred on enhancing efficiency, reliability and production flexibility across their facility, integrating both existing and new equipment into a streamlined, fully optimised system.

TH Plastics worked closely with Counterplas throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring seamless coordination, proactive communication and early delivery ahead of schedule. Judges praised the high standards demonstrated across the project, highlighting the effectiveness of the solution, the strength of the collaboration and the measurable benefits achieved for the customer.

During the ceremony, attended by a full audience of industry professionals, the award was presented by comedian Ellie Taylor, known for her appearances on Mock the Week, Ted Lasso, Live at the Apollo and as a co-host on The Great Pottery Throw Down. Her presence brought humour, energy and unforgettable entertainment to the evening.

Representatives from TH Plastics proudly accepted the award on behalf of the company.

Speaking about the award, Jimmy Goddard from TH Plastics expressed how meaningful the recognition is for the team:

“Winning this award means a great deal to us. It reflects the effort, collaboration and problem-solving that went into the project, both from our team and from Counterplas. We’re incredibly proud of what we achieved together.”

Lee Thomas echoed this sentiment, highlighting the dedication behind the success:

“To win at PIA 2025 is something really special. Our team has worked tirelessly to deliver outstanding results and this award makes all that effort worthwhile. I’m proud, delighted and already looking forward to what we can achieve next.”

Manager

Xtex

"As a result of our initial dealings with TH Plastics, we had high expectations of the company, but I have to say that even these were surpassed. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding and the speed and safety with which the work was undertaken made the installation a joy to witness. And, when the installation was complete and the system was switched on, it worked perfectly immediately".

Advanced Manufacturing Manager

Kautex Unipart

"TH Plastics were excellent at every stage, from initial site visits and concepts to equipment supply and testing as well as the complete installation on site. I received a personal service from the outset. TH Plastics did a very good job; they did what they said they would and they did it extremely well."

Engineering Manager

BPI Rhymney

"I was particularly impressed at how proactive the team at TH Plastics were when we asked them to provide a reference site. They responded immediately and arranged for us to visit Maxell Moulding Services in Telford, where TH Plastics had delivered a factory move installation. The Manager at Maxell was extremely positive about TH Plastics and we were impressed with the standard of workmanship on site."

Productions Director

"The new materials handling and drying system TH Plastics designed has exceeded my expectations. It's significantly more efficient than we had at the site, so far yielding a 40% reduction in energy consumption and I expect that figure to increase in future."

Head of Production

"TH Plastics has designed and developed a unique solution for our specific needs that has reduced labour costs, reduced energy costs, increased efficiency and uptime, and at the same time improved product quality. They have a unique way of working in the industry, providing a unique facility for prototyping and developing new concepts and solutions that no one else offers. Their team is the only company that I know that offers such a uniformed process from beginning to end. All the team are technical engineers with a commitment to solving customer issues and getting the best results."
