Silostop

What Silostop does

Silostop Agri is a UK-based agricultural technology company that manufactures proprietary High Oxygen Barrier (HOB) films and complementary accessories for silage protection. The company's core technology is a multi-layer oxygen barrier film system that virtually eliminates surface spoilage in stored silage, reducing dry matter loss by 50% and plastic usage by 60% compared to conventional PE plastic, while delivering a claimed 6:1 return on investment for end users. The product portfolio spans four film variants (Silostop Orange 1.8mil, Max Plus 5mil, Complete 6mil, and Side Wall Sheet) plus a system of protective covers (Anti-UV 210gsm, Secure Covers 300gsm) and gravel bag accessories that together form a complete silage protection platform.

Silostop is part of the Milbank Group conglomerate, sitting alongside sister brands ARK Agriculture (silage clamp construction, formed 2012) and Secure Covers (protective nets, acquired 2019), creating a vertically integrated silage solutions group that was rebranded as Silostop Agri in 2021. The business serves two primary customer verticals: large-scale dairy farms (hundreds to thousands of cows) and anaerobic digestion (biogas) plants, with secondary exposure to construction and landscaping for gravel bag sales.

Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time product sales across three distribution channels: a Shopify-powered direct e-commerce storefront, a global dealer network, and a regional field sales organization covering the UK, Americas, France, and international markets (including Asia and Russia). Products are priced as individual units ranging from approximately $195 to $1,600+, with the company also offering volume discounts and pallet packages. Marketing combines content-led digital presence (ROI calculator, factsheets, YouTube), social channels, trade show participation, and dealer referral programs, supported by a technical support team and partnerships with silage scientists.

The product range includes multi-thickness oxygen barrier films (Orange, Max Plus, Complete, Side Wall Sheets), protective covers (Anti-UV and Secure Covers), and gravel bag accessories that together virtually eliminate surface spoilage, reduce dry matter losses, and lower plastic usage compared to conventional PE plastic.

Silostop Agri offers a comprehensive silage protection system comprising multiple complementary products. The core product line includes high oxygen barrier films (HOB) available in four variants: Silostop Orange (1.8mil), Max Plus (5mil), Complete (6mil), and Side Wall Sheet. These films work in conjunction with protective accessories including Anti UV Covers (210gsm), Secure Covers (300gsm), and Standard Gravel Bags. Together, these products form a complete silage protection system that helps farmers reduce plastic waste by 60% while decreasing dry matter losses by 50% compared to conventional PE plastic, achieving ROI ratios of 6:1.
