Company Profile
ADV Plastics was started 24 years ago by Andrew and Suzy Philippides with one 200 ton machine. 2 years later Chris joined and a year later Basil joined.
We currently have 25 machines ranging from 20 ton to 320 ton(mainly Negri Bossi). The focus is custom injection moulding.
We process all types of raw material ranging from polyolefin’s i.e. polypropylenes to styrene’s to all types of engineering plastics i.e. polyurethanes to polycarbonates to nylons to ABS etc.
Our main aim is to supply top quality product at a reasonable price. We do not have an in-house tool room but work in close contact with 2 tool rooms that make all our tooling requirements according to customer drawings or specifications.

Mission Statement
Our mission statement is to provide our customers with top quality product at reasonable prices. We will keep on investing in new machinery as we believe that this is one way of staying competitive. We strive to improve our quality wherever possible. We strongly believe in the policy of getting the job done right first time.
ISO Accredited
We are ISO accredited ISO 9001:2000. We have a fully fledged quality department run by Joe Ferraz who has 2 quality patrol inspectors under him. When a new project is started all the critical dimensions are obtained from the customer. From this a work instruction is issued that is posted on the machine when the production is running. These work instructions are updated on a regular basis if and when is necessary. We do have 2 Branson ultrasonic welders and do assembly work as per our customer’s requirements. As an ongoing quest to meet our customers particular needs we, in 2005, set up ADV Auto at 36 Staal Street. We have a 40 ton vertical Aburg and 3 other Arburg injection moulding machines ranging from 30 ton to 150 ton.
Today ADV Plastics consist of three main components:
ADV Plastics : Manufacturing of Non-Automotive Components - Electrical Components, Plastic Parts for the Garden & Home Industry , and Pool Cleaner Parts
at 12 Watt place, Kya Sands, Randburg.


ADV Plastics : Automotive Component Manufacturing at 36 Staal Str, Kya Sands, Randburg.During April 2005 and as a result of increasing demand for non-automotive and automotive components it was decided to move the Automotive segment of ADV Plastics to 36 Staal Str, Kya Sands.
ADV Plastics : Warehouse Facility and Assembly Facility at Engineering close, Kya Sands, Randburg.
Assembly of compnents and inspection of parts takes place and our warehouse facilitates smooth delivery of completed products to our customers.
Training & Development of our Staff
We believe in promoting from within. We have 2 shift supervisors and 2 assistant shift supervisors that started working for us as unskilled workers. We trained them up as machine minders and later identified them as possible shift supervisors. They in time were trained up and promoted into the positions that they now hold. There are ongoing training programs to improve quality and keep our reject rates low.
