Founded in 1978 Ambic started out life as a contract plastic moulding operation and during the last thirty years it has built up significant expertise in the area of precision moulding and the design and manufacture of semi-technical plastic products.

The design and development of its own range of products for the dairy industry in the 1980’s saw Ambic become an expert in the development of products capable of withstanding the harsh operating environment of the dairy farm. In particular, its close collaboration with the National Institute for Research in Dairying (NIRD), based at the University of Reading, enabled it to develop mastitis prevention and detection into core competences.
