Warkup moves into outdoor market

Pig building manufacturer AM Warkup has chosen the forthcoming British Pig & Poultry Fair (Stoneleigh, Warwickshire May 9 and 10) to launch a brand new range of outdoor equipment — the first time that the company has been involved in this side of the industry.

Known as 'Down-to-Earth', the new range will be exhibited on an outdoor stand and consists of a weaner/grower ark, a farrowing ark and a multi-purpose 'tent' to provide flexible cover for a whole range of tasks such as outdoor wean to finish, dry sows and finishers.

Warkup believes that the outdoor market is in need of an injection of build quality to improve longevity and that many outdoor producers are seeking to re-equip, particularly if the price is realistic.

On its indoor stand, the company will be exhibiting a new range of rearing buildings — under the 'Meatspeed' banner — alongside its more traditional range of structures.
