1989: Hi-Spec was formed in 1989 by Gary Hill and John Speck. Initially the two partners provided toolmaking services to the larger toolmaking companies and gradually built up a work force of 5 people in the first few years.

1993: In 1993 we moved premises from a 5000 square foot unit to a 10,000 square foot unit and by this time the company started to specialise in high class precision mould tools to a variety of industries. During the following years we increased turnover on a regular basis and the staff level rose to 35 skilled toolmakers, with a reputation as being one of the best teams in their field.

2000: In 2000 we decided to invest in the injection moulding industry. This started with 6 moulding machines in a factory unit next to the toolmaking business. We began by supplying the niche markets with a big emphasis on an individual service that incorporated toolmaking as an added option.

The injection moulding side of the company grew quickly and by the end of 2006 the moulding business had grown to a point where new premises were essential to meet the needs of our customers. It was at this time that the moulding division moved to a 20,000 square foot facility in Cannock. PRESENT DAY - £2.5 million investment: There have been a lot of changes here at Hi-Spec, and in order to expand on the reputation we have built up over the last 20 years, for quality and reliability in the field of toolmaking and injection moulding, we have invested over £2.5 million in new moulding and ancillary equipment and a purpose built unit. The new factory is equipped with 17, brand new state of the art, Negri Bossi moulding machines ranging from 50 ton to 550 ton. A large selection of latest ancillary equipment, colour dosers, dehumidifier dryers, water heaters also now compliment our full range of machines.

To complete the new build, we have moved our modern toolroom on-site, where our team of highly experienced toolmakers are able to manufacture complex mould tools or carry out basic repairs. The toolroom is a very important asset to our moulding facility. Having both aspects of the company under one roof provides enormous customer benefits.
