After over a decade of manufacturing the iconic ‘Highlighting Cap’—branded as Magicap®—at our facility in the United States, Sinclair & Rush has now produced the very first batch in the UK. This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the product line, demonstrating our ability to localise production without sacrificing quality or reliability.

The Magicap® is a large, flexible, and reusable product that already stretches the limits of the dip moulding process. It requires precise handling, including specialist cooling, treatment, and packaging, before being dispatched to salons across Europe. The key challenge in relocating production was transferring bespoke tooling and adapting it for UK-based machinery—all without interrupting supply or compromising the quality of this trusted product.

"Our caps were always made in the USA but production was recently moved to the UK, enabling us to take advantage of much shorter lead times. The transition was very smooth and we were informed every step of the way. The UK team are quick at responding to our queries and have great attention to detail."

This successful transition was the result of seamless collaboration between engineers in the UK and the US. Together, they ensured a smooth changeover between different sets of equipment, setting the foundation for increased agility in production. The UK team can now respond swiftly to demand surges and support new R&D initiatives as the product line continues to evolve.

Producing Magicap® in the UK showcases both the versatility of our equipment and the ingenuity of our operators. It highlights the strength of our global network in meeting the needs of customers while pushing the boundaries of traditional moulding methods.
