The Addfield Projects Story

1982

1982 – The First Addfield Machine

In 1982 the very first Addfield incinerator was built. Designed and built by just one man to support the agricultural industry in the UK during a major Foot and Mouth outbreak. For the following 26 years, Addfield grew to become one of the UK’s most reliable and recognised agricultural incinerator manufacturers. Taking the ethos of being Simply Built Better than traditional incinerators by opting for an advanced thermal refractory rather than the cheaper cast concrete option commonly supplied. A foundation that puts quality above all else and would eventually lead to the creation of Addfield Projects almost 40 years later.

2008

2008 – A New Direction

Welcoming a new owner in 2008 Addfield became Addfield Environmental Systems Ltd and transformed from being a one-person business to looking to take on much larger markets. Continuing to lead in the agricultural sector whilst also developing highly efficient and sustainable solutions for medical, aquacultural, and hazardous waste alongside what has become the industry standard of pet cremation.

2012

2012 – Broadening Horizons

Branching out from being purely a UK supplier to an international one 2012 saw the first medical machines being sold internationally with a quarter of a million-pound contract and the first official Addfield export. Since 2012 Addfield has gone on to supply, install and support incinerators in more than 140 countries alongside winning several awards for our international success.

2016

2016 – Joining forces

To further expand our expertise in high-capacity and complex waste streams in 2016 we brought Techctrol into the Addfield organisation. Bringing decades of complementary experience and knowledge of the industry to our already extensive skill set enabled Addfield to begin working on more high-capacity installations.

2017

2017 – The Next Phase

In 2017 Addfield launched the high-capacity division, which would evolve to become Addfield Projects. Beginning with breaking ground on what would become one of the UK’s most advanced Waste To Energy systems for the NHS, alongside developing precious metal recovery systems and petrochemical waste disposal.

2021

2021 – Welcome to Addfield Projects Ltd

Following continued success as a part of Addfield Environmental Systems, Addfield Projects became its own independent entity as Addfield Projects Ltd. Transferring the team responsible for the dramatic success alongside bringing in a team of experts in their field to reliably deliver sustainable solutions for disposing of diverse and challenging waste. Launching with a full order book and a two-year waiting list Addfield Projects Ltd went straight to working on several exciting projects.

2022

2022 – New Premises

Following continued expansion in staff numbers to keep up with demands we had outgrown our initial units. In late 2022 we moved into our private dedicated two-story office building. Internally designed by our own projects team to create a creative thought-provoking space that encourages innovation and enables highly efficient inter-departmental working. Celebrating the success achieved in a short space of time and preparing for the next phase of growth.
