About Us
Webster Technologies is a family-owned engineering business with more than 60 years of experience in cutting technology, specialist excavation equipment and attachment solutions.
Our heritage began in the early 1960s with the design, manufacture and worldwide distribution of heavy-duty mining equipment. During this time, the Webster family became industry pioneers by introducing hydraulic cutting technology — the first of its kind within the sector.
This innovation led to the development of the Webster Roadheader, a highly respected machine still recognised today within quarrying and mining industries across the world.
As industries evolved, so did Webster Technologies.
The decline of the UK coal mining industry during the late 1980s presented significant challenges, but also created opportunities for innovation and diversification. Under the leadership of Ian Webster, the company expanded into new sectors including construction, tunnelling, demolition and specialist excavation.
One of Ian Webster’s most influential developments was the creation of the Rockwheel — now widely regarded as an industry-standard excavator attachment. Also known as rotary cutters or transverse cutting units, Rockwheels are used extensively across the UK and internationally on major infrastructure, tunnelling, demolition and trenching projects.
This pioneering approach established Webster Technologies as one of the UK’s leading specialists in hydraulic cutting and excavation technology.
Today, our ethos of innovation, practical problem solving and continuous improvement continues to drive the business forward across generations.
Webster Technologies is proud to be the official UK dealer for ROCK.ZONE — one of the world’s leading manufacturers of excavator attachments and material processing equipment.
We supply, support and advise customers across the full ROCK.ZONE product range, including:
ROCKWHEEL
ROCKSAW
ROCKSORTER
ROCKSCREENER
ROCKCRUSHER
With decades of hands-on experience in cutting technology and excavation attachments, we provide expert technical advice to help customers select the right solution for their application.
From compact excavators through to large-scale quarrying and demolition operations, Webster Technologies supports contractors across the UK with proven solutions that improve efficiency, reduce downtime and increase productivity.
Webster Technologies remains a family business, now owned and operated by directors and shareholders:
Sam oversees the day-to-day management of the company, leading both the Kennametal business division alongside the ROCK.ZONE sales and rental operation throughout the UK.
Matthew leads the company’s engineering operations, continuing the family tradition of technical innovation and product development.
Ian remains heavily involved within the business as Technical Director, bringing decades of industry-leading experience in hydraulic cutting technology, attachment design and specialist excavation solutions.
Together, the Webster family continues to build upon generations of engineering knowledge while embracing modern technologies and innovative solutions for the future.
At Webster Technologies, we believe successful equipment is built on more than just power — it requires reliability, practical engineering and real-world understanding.
That philosophy has shaped our business for over 60 years and continues today through every product, project and customer relationship.
Whether supplying cutting-edge excavation attachments, providing technical consultancy or supporting major infrastructure projects, Webster Technologies remains committed to delivering specialist engineering solutions built on experience, innovation and trust.
