WINGET celebrates 115 years and that’s in concrete!
WINGET celebrates its 115th anniversary in 2023 and continues to be a leading and highly respected UK manufacturer of concrete machinery.
Founded in 1908, the journey began when British Engineer John Faulder Burn acquired UK rights to a groundbreaking block moulding machine. Many notable innovations followed, including the firstever “Tilting Drum Mixer” in 1915, the forerunner of Concrete Mixers used on building sites across the world today. WINGET’s commitment to manufacturing quality machinery has never wavered.
The company believes in the old adage “if you buy cheap, you buy twice” so all their machines are built to last and backed up by industry leading parts availability; often supplying parts for
30-year-old machines embarking on the second half of their productive life! Today, carbon footprint, resource efficiency and sustainability are vital considerations, and the UK Plant Hire sector leads the shift to greener machines, leaner processes, and less waste. WINGET embraces this, employing energy saving initiatives throughout their factory, appointing local suppliers wherever possible and manufacturing machines with lifelong durability.
In February, WINGET launched their new 100Te, a 110V version of the popular Yanmar diesel powered 100T Site Mixer. Its launch followed demand from contractors working in Low Emission Zones and urban sites restricting the use of diesel equipment. The company has subsequently added 150Te and 175Te versions, gaining popularity in markets such as Northern Ireland.
The company’s enduring success can be attributed to its global presence. With over 90 years’ experience in exporting mixers to global markets in an industry where longevity and reputation are hardfought achievements. WINGET’s 115th anniversary is a testament to its steadfast dedication to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
Here’s to the next milestone!
