What we stand for
From humble beginnings
Way back in 1972, Ian Wilson and a couple of mates, Bruce Sinclair and Ray Fox, started a tool room in Mordialloc, calling it Micro Precision Tooling. Ian's brother Bob Wilson joined the company a year later in 1973 and when the factory's owner vacated the factory space at the back of the tool room, Ian and Bob decided this would be a good place to put a couple of injection moulding machines to help with tool trials and even run some of their customer's production.
In 1977, Bob Wilson saw the potential for injection moulding and rented the factory next door, starting a company called Micro Plastics. Through the turbulence of the early 90's, high interest rates and the State Bank of Victoria closing, Micro Precision's tool room was forced into closing; however, Micro Plastics went from strength to strength, and over the next 2 decades Micro Plastics established itself as an industry leader.
In 2015, Russell Lacy, the then General Manager, purchased the company and in 2021 as a way to honour the original founders, renamed the company to 'Micro Precision Plastics.'
