Greenfield Engineering has honed its sheet metal manufacturing with uncompromising technology.
Through a sustained period of unprecedented reinvestment with razor sharp discipline spanning 1989-2026. This strategy ingrained in the business ethos combined by a resilient partnership with Amada, recently culminated in the acquisition of a seventh EMZ-3612 MKII turret punch system. This high-speed, servo-electric machinery further enhances output and extra flexibility across Greenfield’s two primary production sites: Neet Way and International House facilities.
The collaboration with Amada extends beyond hardware into a fully integrated digital ecosystem. By leveraging V-factory analytics, VPSS 4ie CAD/CAM software, and offline press-brake folding to advanced Amada tooling solutions, Greenfield has optimised material utilisation and greenlight uptime. This technological edge allows Greenfield to manage their high-volume sheet metal operation with pinpoint precision, positioning them as tier one preferred partner to many major OEM customers.
Managing Director Gary Burnard attributes the company’s position to this assertive Amada investment strategy, noting that transparency and long-term vision are primary drivers in securing further business. The dual-site capability offers unique operational resilience, flexibility, allowing production to be distributed or managed independently between facilities without disruption.
Beyond machinery, Greenfield’s "exceptional momentum" is interlinked by:
• Sustainability: Progress towards net-zero, via EcoVadis grading with recognition from 2024, plus zero-waste-to-landfill certification in 2019.
• Workforce Development: A commitment to long-term apprenticeship programs and advanced technical Amada training to ensure multi-skilled personnel operate at all levels the advanced automated technologies.
• Scalability: Retained financial resources are consistently reinvested to sustain cutting-edge equipment to preserve their leading market position.
Ultimately, Greenfield Engineering has evolved from a rural traditional sheet metal fabrication start-up into a leading future-focused engineering powerhouse. By synchronizing physical expansion with the latest digital infrastructure and environmental responsibilities across its manufacturing, the company has created a scalable business model that others will undoubtably emulate, Greenfield clearly capable of continuing to grow with Amada alongside to service the most ambitious and forward-thinking manufacturing clients.
