Silver Fern Farms, one of New Zealand’s largest and most respected meat producers, has always been committed to workplace safety. However, traditional meat bandsaws posed a constant risk to operators, leading to injuries despite stringent safety protocols. In 2020, the company took a proactive step by introducing three Guardian bandsaws into their processing facilities.

Silver Fern Farms’ success with Guardian bandsaws highlights the importance of investing in cutting-edge safety solutions. By eliminating injuries, they not only protect their employees but also improve operational efficiency—proving that safety and productivity can go hand in hand.
