20 Years of Grunwald UK

15 December 2021

Proud of Grunwald UK’s achievements over the last 20 years, we now look forward to the next 20 years.

20 years of Grunwald UK

2021 marks the 20th anniversary of Grunwald UK LTD and its cooperation with Grunwald GmbH. Created by Neil Muncey who already had a great working relationship with Grunwald, including winning orders with a variety of customers in the dairy and fresh food industry. Neil’s commercial astuteness created a foundation from which the current management team have grown and flourished. 


Grunwald UK is in its 4th year being under the management of James Causebrook, Samantha Smith and Catherine Causebrook. As a set of Directors, they have previously performed every job function in the business, meaning there is a management team that understands how to meet the requirements of the customers and support Grunwald. With a portfolio of +200 machines in the UK and Ireland (and recently selling into the USA market) Grunwald UK still actively supports many of these machines.


Nearing 20 employees in its 20th year, the business now positions itself to be a complete lifecycle service provider to both its customers and Grunwald Germany. This means the business has more service engineers in the UK than any of its competitors and a dedicated aftersales department, stocking genuine Grunwald parts in the UK for fast response.

As the management team of Grunwald UK reflect on this milestone (and the 13 years they have been involved with the company), it’s fair to say the success has been created by such consistent support from Grunwald Germany. The efforts of Anton Alt in the market have proved crucial in every machine sale but moreover his desire and drive to mentor the business has been instrumental in its success.


Grunwald UK now looks ahead to the next 20 years where it will continue to support its customers to the best of its ability, continue to develop its staff by investing more in its training in the next 20 months than it has in the last 20 years and will look to support the wider industry through its work with the PPMA and its contribution supporting the engineers of the future.


The business is doing all it can to give its staff opportunities to develop their careers and to operate a positive leadership culture this is reflected by Grunwald UK being 2020 employer of the year in its local area.


The directors of Grunwald UK say thank you to their staff past and present, for the incredible support of Grunwald Germany and the positive open relationships with customers and we look forward to the next 20 years and making every year better than the last, striving to make each year a great success.
