At the time , Miller was in a fortunate position to capitalize on the numerous construction projects happening across the UK , from Kielder Water ’ s dam to the construction of new motorways . “ With machinery being deployed around the country , we started to gain a strong reputation by completing repair work for local plant hire companies ,” Keith explains . “ I had an engineering brain and through negative know-how , I recognized opportunities to improve the designs of the buckets I was repairing for clients .
“ Learning from my experiences , Miller began manufacturing buckets for excavators in the 1980s to deliver optimum efficiency for operators . Right from the beginning , we embraced the concept of continuous improvement , finding innovative ways to enhance our offering , which we still do today . The business gradually grew , and my brother and sister joined me , eventually creating a small team to support our operations .
“ Our innovation then extended beyond buckets and after conducting market research , we identified a gap in the market for a unique way to change from one attachment to another with minimal manual work ,” he continues . “ As the industry ’ s machinery and attachments evolved , so did Miller ’ s forward-thinking strategy . The original concept behind the coupler was to imagine a hydraulic hand that could seamlessly change from one accessory to another . We eventually developed a tool capable of doing so , hence the birth of the Miller coupler .”
