Testing underway at Gilwood.

Our Automatic Boot Washer undergoing testing during the manufacturing process, ahead of dispatch from the Gilwood factory.

Using powerful rotating brushes and controlled water application, the system provides thorough boot cleaning for food production and other hygiene-critical environments.

Every system is manufactured and tested in-house to ensure correct operation before leaving our facility.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited the Gilwood team at PPMA Total Show last week!

It was great to meet so many people and talk about how Gilwood can support food manufacturers with hygienic factory equipment, conveyors, mechanical handling and bespoke solutions.

We’re now busy following up on all the conversations and enquiries from the show. If we haven’t been in touch yet, don’t worry – we will be shortly!

Thank you again for visiting Stand E18 and making PPMA 2026 such a great show for the team.

A fantastic week at PPMA!

As another PPMA comes to a close, we'd like to thank everyone who visited the Gilwood stand this week.
We've had some excellent conversations about food factory design, hygienic equipment, mechanical handling, processing systems and future expansion plans.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to meet with our team.
If we didn't get the opportunity to speak, we'd still be delighted to discuss your project.

Final day at PPMA: The best solutions start with understanding the process.

It's the final day of PPMA 2026 and there's still time to visit the Gilwood team on Stand E18.

Before equipment is specified, layouts are developed or investment decisions are made, it's essential to understand how a facility operates and where opportunities for improvement exist.

Gilwood provides site surveys, consultations and factory design support to help manufacturers optimise hygiene, workflow, product handling, drainage, kerbing and future expansion plans. Whether you're planning a process upgrade, factory redevelopment or a completely new facility, our team can help create a practical roadmap from concept through to implementation.

If you're attending the show today, come and talk to us about your challenges, plans and future projects.

From individual conveyors to fully integrated handling solutions, our team can design and manufacture systems to suit your products, layout and production requirements.
See our conveyor solutions on Stand E18 at PPMA Total Show 2026.

Good factory design starts with good product flow.

The most efficient factories aren't always the biggest.
They're the ones where people, ingredients, materials and equipment work together seamlessly.
From conveyors and handling systems to complete factory layouts, Gilwood helps manufacturers create efficient, practical production environments designed around real-world operations.
Visit us on Stand E18 to discuss your next project.

22/09/2026

PPMA 2026 is underway.
