  We've manufactured such an extensive range of products over the last 60 years for many different industries, engineering, museum and exhibition and Retail POS.

We can show you examples and the quality of the work that we have previously done and the experienced team at Carlon can offer any help that you might need.

  We make everything ourselves and the price per item depends on the material, quantities and sizes required. We are happy to discuss any ideas that you might h...

• All I want for Christmas... Is a beautiful bespoke dolls house

  

  If your Grandad is the Director of an acrylic manufacturing company, the least that you can expect is for him to make you a beautiful three storey bespoke dolls house. Not just your average house this one has everything and the recipient was really pleased with it but who wouldn't be.
