About Brindale
Our History
Brindale is family owned and its legacy dates back to 1918 in London, UK when, after the first World War, brothers Benjamin and Edmund (Ted) Daniell, together with Charlie Bird, founded Brindale Motor and General Sheetmetal Works.
The name Brindale came from the surnames of the 3 founders: Bird and Daniell. What started in a small workshop quickly grew into Brindale Engineering, known for skilled craftsmanship in radiator grills, emblem design, and pioneering sheet metal work.
Over generations, the business evolved from engineering to automation and robotics in New Zealand. Rebranded as Brindale Design, we played a key role in production improvement, as well as new innovations, for esteemed manufacturers like Fonterra, Montana Wines and Buckley Systems. Today, Brindale Limited integrates a century-long legacy of innovation and excellence with over two decades of global scrap metal trading expertise.
