bpi.agri. World leaders in agricultural film
bpi.agri is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of polythene films for agricultural use and a specialist division of British Polythene Industries (BPI) plc.
'Make hay while the sun shines'. We've all heard the saying but for many farmers and agricultural contractors this statement has become just as applicable when times are hard. Compared with baled silage, relying on hay as a winter feed can seem like a lower cost option. But is it actually a cheaper alternative? Or is it more a case of false economy?
MoreA. Bird damage usually occurs on the upper bale surface, and appears as holes through all film layers, sometimes with netwrap pulled through. Larger birds and other animals can also make holes nearer ground level. Please note that holes through all film layers are not caused by film faults.
Through a network of factories located across the UK - including a recently expanded, state-of-the-art facility in Leominster, Herefordshire - we supply products used by farmers and agricultural contractors across the globe. These products include silage sheeting, silage bags and a number of well-known brands of balewrap such as Silotite®, Visqueen Poliwrap® and Polybale®.
To ensure our continued success and in order to build on a track record that includes developing the world’s first triple-layer, co-extruded silage stretch film, we have a strong commitment to product research and development. We also actively seek the feedback of our customers and work closely with key research establishments such as the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Research (IBERS) at Aberystwyth University (www.aber.ac.uk/en/ibers/).
Combined, these factors allow us to develop new and ever more capable solutions to today’s silage production needs. Solutions which are based on the latest scientific findings, raw material advances, developments in manufacturing technology and experiences of the end-user.
We are a key member of The Silage Advisory Centre (SilAC) - an industry initiative that promotes the science of silage to aid farmers’ decision-making on bale silage production, forage and grassland management. SilAC’s mission is to aid UK and Irish livestock farmers produce quality and nutritional silage at a reasonable profit though research, demo farms, seminars, knowledge transfer and advisory tools. This initiative is supported by member organisations who have a shared interest in supporting on-farm decision-making when it comes to silage production, fodder and grassland management.
