About us

Mansol (Preforms) Limited is one of Europe's largest and most experienced manufacturers of sintered glass products.  We are proud to have been a British owned company since the 1950's.  Our 2,500 sq.m. modern factory is situated in the east of England and offers excellent links to London and Europe with Stansted Airport being only 40 miles away.  We are also close to the M11 motorway and in the region of the port of Felixstowe.

The Company is dedicated to the manufacture and supply of sintered glass preforms, glass support rods, miniature lamp beads, glass granules and fibre-optic sealing preforms for the Electronic and Electrical industries. Sprayed dried glass granules are also available for customer's in-house manufacture of preforms. We also have the capacity for sub- contract glass milling.  Our research and development department has over 40 years of experience in all aspects of glass and glass processing.  We are willing to undertake research projects for customers and manufacture samples; we can also develop new glasses to suit a particular sealing task.

All our components are manufactured to the requirements of customer's drawings and specifications to close tolerances and a fine finish.   Our own staff created the designs behind some of the machines and all of the tooling used in production. We export over 70% of our product worldwide and are also a BS EN ISO 9001 approved company.

Mansol (Preforms) are always seeking new areas and new applications for its products and places priority on quality, reliability and delivery to ensure that all our customers receive a personal and efficient service.
