1969
Plastic Shims and Gaskets Co Ltd (PSG) was born. PSG introduced
colour coded polyester film to the market to produce Shims,
Washers, Insulators & Gaskets. This simple idea to replace
the antiquated metal shims was welcomed by our customers;
this new idea dramatically reduced customers lead times, while
eliminating thickness errors due to the simplistic colour
coded system. These components were extensively used in Automotive,
Electrical and most manufacturing industries. Polyester film
was far more suitable to these applications due to its compressive
and tensile strengths. PSG now export worldwide and customers
welcome our high levels of customer service and vast knowledge
of materials and applications. PSG also acquired a number
of small tool makers and washer manufacturers to enable PSG
to hold an extensive range of tools to produce most standard
items without charging customers tooling costs, however if
it is something bespoke you require, we usually can produce
a tool within a week.
1981
Polyester Converters Ltd (PCL) was created. In the early eighties
PCL primarily procured its PET (polyester) film from Kodak
UK.
1983
PCL became a major supplier of print and allied trades and
acquired Boyden Data Paper Ltd, which was the largest polyester
film converting plant in the UK at the time. Boyden Data primarily
converted PET film for ICI into sheets and rolls. After the
acquisition, PCL was able to stock, convert and distribute
polyester film from 12-500 micron used in packaging, print,
industrial and allied trades.
1985
PCL invested heavily in modern converting machinery and became
a major converter and stockist of PET film (from several European
manufacturers) in Europe.
1987
All the associated companies were consolidated creating PSG
Group Ltd. PSG Group procured film from all of the worlds
major manufacturers of Polyester film at the time: ICI, Hoescht,
Rhone Poulenc, Kodak and many more. PSG Group occupied a refurbished
industrial unit in the heart of South East London, covering
over 40,000 square feet.
1994
Further investment into machinery and people allowed PSG Group
to provide a one-stop shop for all PET film requirements.
Present
PSG Group now stock well over 1000 tonnes of PET film from
Dupont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Toray Plastics
Europe, Toray Saehan, Nuroll, Shinkong, Jindal, Garware, Flex

an automotive assemble PSG will do the same. PSG Group has
