A leaked cask means wasted product, contamination, and lost revenue 🍺

Since 1983, we’ve been manufacturing two-piece plastic shives at our facility in Burton-upon-Trent to keep stainless steel cask fleets sealed properly from the filling line to the cellar.

Our design focuses on practical engineering to handle real-world brewery conditions:
🔹 The Two-Piece Advantage: We pair a rigid LLDPE body to withstand heavy broaching impact with a softer EVA sealing band.
🔹 Compensating for Wear: Cask bushels inevitably wear down over time. While a completely rigid shive will start to leak on an older cask, our flexible sealing band deforms to absorb that variation—keeping your older casks in active service longer.
🔹 The No. 5 Shive: Our standard setup for cask bushels that are still in good overall condition.
🔹 The No. 4.5 Shive: Built with a larger sealing membrane for extra compression, providing a practical fix for worn bushels prone to intermittent leaks.

We mould these to a strict +/-0.1mm dimensional tolerance, so you get the exact same fit batch after batch. Because we manufacture them directly in the UK, you get shorter lead times and a much more reliable supply when seasonal demand peaks.

THIS WEEK - UB Plastics is delighted to be sponsoring the SIBA Midlands & West Region Indie Beer Awards, held on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th May as part of the Ludlow Spring Festival.

This year, the festival is hosting the awards at Ludlow Castle, where the Festival Pub will feature over 200 cask and keg ales. It’s a massive showcase of independent brewing talent from across the Midlands, and we are pleased to be part of an event that celebrates the creativity of the sector.

While judging takes place behind closed doors on Friday, the Festival Pub opens to the public at 5pm that evening - giving everyone the chance to sample the “Brewers’ Choice” winners for themselves.

We look forward to catching up with our customers and the wider brewing community over the weekend. Our team will be available to discuss your requirements for quality brewery closures, including shives, keystones, and branded keg or dust caps.

Good luck to all the independent brewers entering their best work this year!

If you need branding that actually lasts, our In-Mould Labelling (IML) is the standard. 🏷️

Instead of applying a label at the end, we integrate high-resolution graphics directly into the injection moulding process. The result is a seamless, durable finish that handles the rigours of the supply chain far better than a standard sticker. 🤖

Whether it’s high-volume food packaging or branded brewery components, our 23 modern machines and robotics handle the precision work at scale.
