Sam Carr is the Sales Manager for Roboshot at FANUC UK, where he works with manufacturers across the UK to improve productivity, reduce energy consumption, and stay competitive through advanced injection moulding and automation solutions. With over a decade of experience in the plastics industry, Sam has built his career on the front line of UK manufacturing, working directly with moulders, toolmakers, and production teams to solve real shop floor challenges. This hands-on exposure has shaped his practical, commercially driven perspective on the industry, particularly at a time when businesses are facing rising costs, increasing scrutiny around plastics, and ongoing skills shortages. As both a professional in the sector and a father, he has a personal interest in the future of plastics, recognising the need for greater sustainability, while also challenging oversimplified narratives that overlook the material’s critical role in modern life.
