Heyside Group, a plastics manufacturer based in Oldham, plans to enhance its production capacity by 60% through investments in robotics and advanced tooling, aided by Greater Manchester support organizations. The company processes 300 tonnes of recycled plastic weekly, producing PVC injection-moulded products for various sectors.

The ongoing modernization program aims to shift from manual manufacturing to automated processes, potentially generating £4.8m in additional revenue. The GM Business Growth Hub facilitated a £500,000 loan and partnerships with Lancaster University and the University of Salford to support Heyside's investment in technology and innovation.
