In the last 60 years Westfield has grown to become a leading manufacturer in portable grain handling equipment. From its base in Rosenort, Manitoba and with additional manufacturing space in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Westfield’s employees utilize over 174,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities to produce an extensive line of portable grain augers.
Exports accounted for a significant portion of Westfield’s total 2009 sales with the majority of exports going to the United States. However, Westfield does serve markets worldwide including Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Europe.
Greg Giesbrecht, Westfield’s Sales Manager credits a deep commitment to customers for Westfield’s ongoing success. “We listen to our customers and continually improve our products to better meet their needs,” says Giesbrecht. In 2009, the MK Flex was introduced to address the requirements of intensive farm operators that wanted to increase the efficiency of the unloading operation. The Flex allows unloading of multi hopper trailers without having to move the truck multiple times, and offers more flexibility in the placement of trucks and gravity wagons adjacent to the auger.
Ron Braun, Westfield Industries Vice President also credits a dedication to lean manufacturing principles and R&D with the company’s ability to flourish in tough economic times. “Westfield continues to refine its process improvement initiatives for increased efficiency and to better serve its customers,” says Braun.
Established in 1950, Westfield was acquired by Ag Growth International (AGI) in 2000. It is the largest division held by AGI, a leading manufacturer of portable and stationary grain handling, storage and conditioning equipment.
