About Us

Rototek was formed in 1993 with a custom- built state of the art rotational moulding machine surpassing many that were available commercially.

The company established itself as a high quality trade rotational moulder and as orders outstripped the production capacity of the original machine and premises during 1996, Rototek moved to 12000 sq. ft premises on the outskirts of Newark. Within 10 years the Company had again outgrown the facility and relocated to a 65,000 sq. ft unit again just outside of Newark.

In July 2011, Rototek was purchased by Trent Mouldings Limited. Today the Company employs over 50 people and operates 7 machines 24 hours a day 6 days per week, the largest of which is capable of moulding products up to 7m in length and 3m in diameter.
