A Transparent Note on Our Brand Partnership
From System Plast to Movex: What Changed and Why
For many years, SL Plastics was a UK distributor of System Plast conveyor components, supplying British manufacturers across the beverage, packaging, food processing and conveyor industries. Following the global brand consolidation under Regal Rexnord, we have now partnered with Movex®, the Italian premium conveyor manufacturer, as their UK Preferred Partner, Stockist and Supplier.
For our existing customers running System Plast on legacy equipment, the practical impact is small: nearly every System Plast component has a direct Movex equivalent of equal or better quality, in stock at our Norfolk warehouse. This page helps you identify the right Movex part for your application.

For Existing System Plast Equipment
Running Legacy Equipment? We've Got You Covered.
Many UK manufacturers run conveyor systems originally built with System Plast components. These machines are typically 10 to 25+ years old, perfectly serviceable, and just need wear parts replaced periodically.
Movex® equivalents fit directly in nearly all cases. For the small number of System Plast components without an exact Movex equivalent, our in-house CNC machining service can produce custom replacements to match the original part dimensionally.
You do not need to replace your conveyor lines. You just need a UK supplier who understands legacy equipment, and can supply replacement parts that fit the first time.
