Maidaid Halcyon

Maidaid Halcyon is one of the UK’s most established manufacturers of commercial warewashing equipment, recognised for producing machines that are dependable, practical and built for the realities of hospitality service. The company was founded in 1974, at a time when many pubs and bars were still washing glassware by hand or using basic brush systems. Maidaid helped transform standards across the trade by introducing automatic undercounter cabinet glasswashers to the UK market. Now part of the Buttress Group and based in Brackley, Northamptonshire, Maidaid Halcyon has grown into a full warewashing solutions provider. Its portfolio covers everything from compact bar glasswashers to large rack conveyor systems for hotels, hospitals and contract catering.

Simplicity, Serviceability & Performance

Maidaid’s approach to design is deliberately practical. Rather than prioritising complex electronics, machines are engineered for durability and ease of servicing. Internal layouts are designed to give engineers quick access to key components, helping reduce downtime and long-term repair costs. Where technology is introduced, it is there to support performance and compliance. Higher-end ranges incorporate clear digital controls and diagnostic features, while core systems remain robust and heavy duty. Features such as thermostop technology ensure rinse cycles only begin once the correct sanitising temperature is reached, while energy-saving modes help manage water and power consumption.
