This year, we are proud to celebrate Roto Quip’s 30th anniversary. From its inception in 1994, Roto Quip has grown into a global leader in the supply of lids, fittings, and accessories for the rotational moulding industry. Over the years, our technical capabilities have expanded significantly.

Additionally, our full-service toolroom supports mould manufacture and maintenance, ensuring we deliver cutting-edge solutions to our customers. Join us as we take a look back at our journey, highlighting the key milestones that have shaped who we are today.
1994: Roto Quip is Born
Roto Quip was established as a breakaway from the family’s parent company, Burch Quip, a custom injection moulding business. With a vision to focus on the unique needs of the rotational moulding industry, the Burchell family laid the foundation for a company that prioritized innovation, quality, and customer-centric solutions.
1995: A New Home
Just one year after its founding, Roto Quip moved into a new custom-built facility. This purpose-designed space allowed us to expand our operations and set the stage for future growth, ensuring we had the infrastructure to meet the needs of an evolving industry.
1997: A Second Generation Joins the Fold
Shaun Burchell, the first of the second generation, joined Roto Quip as an apprentice toolmaker. Over the years, Shaun’s dedication and expertise propelled him through the ranks to become our Technical Director, spearheading product innovation and manufacturing excellence.
2006: Strengthening the Team
Gary Burchell, the second son, came on board as Marketing Manager, bringing a fresh perspective to the company’s customer engagement strategies. His strategic approach to market development earned him the role of Commercial Director, ensuring Roto Quip’s offerings remained aligned with the ever-evolving needs of our customers.
2017: A New Leadership Era
To support Roto Quip’s continued growth, Ross Olive joined as Managing Director, taking charge of the day-to-day operations. This allowed Shaun and Gary to focus on product innovation and market expansion, ensuring that Roto Quip stayed ahead in a competitive industry.
2019: A Global Footprint
With a keen focus on exports, Roto Quip began its journey to becoming a truly global company. By 2024, we are proud to serve 24 countries, providing high-quality products and exceptional service to customers around the world.
