Staffordshire based manufacturers Addfield, celebrated their continued success as the financial year came to an end with not one but two open days. Showcasing the growth and future innovations for both Addfield Environmental Systems (AES) and Addfield Projects hosted from the custom built premises that now house Addfield Projects in Burntwood, Staffordshire.

The first day focussed on the High Capacity and Waste to Energy approaches to sustainable waste incineration delivered by the team at Addfield Projects. The second day presented a number of exciting innovations coming to the world of pet cremation from AES that are launching this spring. Welcoming visitors from the 27th to 28th March the two days were an incredible success keeping both teams busy as visitors travelled internationally and nationally to see the future of waste management and cremation.

“This was a great opportunity for us to celebrate not only the opening of our new facility for Addfield Projects, that they only moved into a few months ago. This new site enables them to build these massive plants from start to finish all in one place which is a real boost to the business. It was also a great opportunity to invite and meet with so many new and expanding pet cremation businesses to show them the latest upgrades that we have been working on behind the scenes, and help them to choose the perfect cremator for their business needs. This was a really impressive turn out over both days and the two teams did a tremendous job putting the days together.” Derek Carr – Managing Director, Addfield.

Addfield has always prided itself on quality, continuously reinvesting to develop new and more sustainable approaches to thermal treatment that ultimately benefit the end user and the environment, no matter what industry they are in.

Having made incredible progress in the past decade, from a business and operational perspective achieving record growth in 2024 for both AES and Addfield Projects, it was agreed that there was no better time than the start of Spring to celebrate the future opportunities that lay ahead.

The feedback from the visitors reflected how seeing the facilities up close was incredibly useful when thinking of their own project.

Kicking off the first day, Addfield Projects exhibited a completed, high-capacity waste to energy facility ready to be tested before shipping to Guernsey to manage the islands general waste. Being able to take a tour around a completed facility is not an opportunity that comes up often and so attendees came from across the country from councils, consultants and private businesses. As large as it was the team are set to begin work on a machine two and a half times larger very soon. Visitors had the opportunity to speak with the many experts at Addfield Projects who will be designing and building their projects, and learned about previous installations that may be similar to their needs.

The second day, the team focussed on some of Addfield’s more compact solutions in comparison. Showcasing two new approaches to pet cremation. An industry achieving enormous growth in the past 5 years from private and individual businesses. Beginning with the newly redesigned PET200 one of the worlds most popular solutions for pet crematoriums displaying for the first time a number of updates to increase performance and operational comfort. Alongside that was the A50 IC 2 a four chambered pet cremator for the larger operator which in this instance was fitted for the first time with a number of additional options which can lead to an increase in throughput of more than 30% in operation. Attended by existing and start up customers some flying all the way from the Middle East for this opportunity to see what’s new.

This was a perfect way to welcome in Spring and the new financial year. The success of the events have reinforced the decision to continue to organise more in the future. It was great opportunity for the two companies to come together to share the celebration of the combined success over the years and commitment to providing the most robust, reliable and efficient incinerators and cremators. Dedicated to our customer values, the open days allowed Addfield to present several 1-2-1 sessions simultaneously ensuring every customer need and question was met – another reason why they say that Addfield is Simply Built Better.

Since 1982, Addfield has evolved hugely through dedication and teamwork, pushing itself to become global leaders in the sustainable waste management industry. The Addfield name can be found in more than 150 countries, showing the worldwide reach that the companies have reached.
