Bruce Engineering

Bruce Engineering is a family-owned and operated mechanical engineering firm specializing in the manufacture and installation of modular aggregate processing plants for the quarrying, recycling, and materials processing industries. The company was founded in 1958 by James Bruce in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. James Bruce initially had experience in sand extraction and dredging before establishing the engineering business that is now in its third generation and managed by Reuben and Lorraine Bruce.

The company's product range includes washing and screening equipment, feeding and conveying systems, and recycling machinery such as the WashPod, logwashers, and dewatering screens. A key offering is their line of modular aggregate washing plants. Bruce Engineering is also noted as the sole manufacturer of Electromagnetic Feeders in Ireland, some of which have been in continuous operation since the early 1960s. In 1991, the company became an official distributor for Hardox Wear Plate in Ireland, later launching the dedicated sub-brand Bruce Wearparts in 2016 to provide specialized wear solutions.

Bruce Engineering serves clients across the UK, Ireland, and has expanded into international markets including Europe, Australia, and Singapore. The business model is centered on designing, manufacturing, and installing bespoke processing solutions tailored to customer requirements. Recent developments include an £800,000 investment in new machinery and office refurbishment to support expansion into European markets and handle larger contracts.
