Sheet Metal Success Stories

What our customers are saying about us

Challenge

Surging industry demands outpaced capacity, risking quality and turnaround, requiring advanced machinery to stay competitive.

Solution

Headland supplied TRUMPF TruLaser, TruBend, and deburring machines, provided layout redesign and training, boosting speed, precision, and capacity.

"Headland's service technicians have been invaluable, providing reliable support and even assisting after hours to ensure smooth operations."

Michael Fletcher

Managing Director, 3 Metals Laser Cutting

Challenge

High labour costs, long lead times, outdated processes, and failed automation attempts threatened Freighter Group's manufacturing survival.

Solution

With the help of TRUMPF, Headland delivered a $50M Smart Factory transformation with laser cutters, benders, storage systems, and software integration for operational excellence.

"The right technology gives us the key to the door, but we’re the ones who decide whether or not to walk through it.”

Greg L’Estrange

Executive Chairman, Freighter Group

Challenge

Opie Group hit a wall—skilled welders vanished, apprentices bailed, and thin-gauge sheet work couldn’t be tackled by KUKA CMT robots.

Solution

Headland delivered TRUMPF TruLaser Weld 5000—automated, precise, plug-and-play with Opie’s CAD—slashing labour needs while luring tech-savvy talent.

“I have been a loyal customer of Headland Technology and TRUMPF … consistently deliver high-quality products that I can rely on.”
