What T H WHITE Projects does
T H WHITE Projects (legal entity: T H WHITE Installation Limited, Company No. 1406798) is the specialist engineering division of the family- and staff-owned T H WHITE Group, based at Nursteed Road, Devizes, Wiltshire. Trading under the Projects brand since 1978 (rebranded from the Materials Handling & Storage Division in 2017), it delivers end-to-end dry-bulk processing and storage projects for the UK agri-food sector — covering agricultural cooperatives, milling, malting, brewing, food processing, ports and grain terminals, and farm/estate clients. Its core technology and products span consultancy, multidisciplinary design (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical), CE/UKCA-marked in-house structural steel fabrication, full installation and commissioning, and lifetime service/maintenance — augmented by the patented Dust Suppression Hopper, for which it acts as authorised agent in England and Wales.
The business operates a project-based, direct enterprise field-sales model: engagements begin with expert-advisor conversations, progress through tailored proposals and site visits, and close under multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated primarily through engineering design, project management, fabrication and installation contracts (professional services), with a complementary recurring stream from service/maintenance contracts and spare-parts supply (managed services). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Anchor enterprise customers include Camgrain (relationship since 1982/83, partner of choice for ~40 years), Openfield (40+ years across 17 sites), the Port of Tilbury, Associated British Ports (Alexandra Dock, Kings Lynn), Frontier Agriculture, Aberdeen Grain, Beeswax Dyson Farming, Navara Oat Milling and Crisp Malting Group — combined annual contract values range from £1.75M to £3.8M per named project.

Company assessmentDirect peers
- Sukup Manufacturing Co. US-based family-owned manufacturer of grain bins, dryers, and handling equipment. Direct comparable in grain storage silos, on-farm drying, and material handling products — categories T H WHITE supplies as part of commercial and on-farm grain storage projects.
- Cimbria (AGCO): Denmark-based designer and manufacturer of grain handling, seed processing, and drying equipment. Directly comparable product set (conveyors, bucket elevators, silos, cleaners, dryers) for the same cooperative, port, and food processor customers that T H WHITE serves.
- Westrup A/S: Danish manufacturer of seed and grain processing machinery (cleaning, sorting, drying, conveying). Comparable for T H WHITE's seed processing plant and grain cleaning/sorting installations serving cooperatives like Openfield and port terminals.
- SKIOLD Andersen & Nielsen (SKIOLD Group): Danish group supplying grain handling, storage, drying, and feed processing equipment to cooperatives and farm customers. Direct peer in on-farm and cooperative-scale grain storage, drying, and handling systems across the UK and Northern Europe.
- PETKUS Technologie GmbH: German manufacturer of seed and grain processing equipment including cleaners, dryers, silos, and complete processing lines. Comparable for the seed/grain processing plants T H WHITE delivers (e.g., Openfield Seed Processing Plant), particularly in European cooperatives and food processors.
Regional players
- Scafell Engineering Ltd: UK-based steel fabrication and engineering contractor serving industrial and agricultural clients. Regional comparable on the structural steelwork, silo, and bespoke fabrication aspects of T H WHITE's in-house fabrication offering.
Broad incumbents
- AGI (Ag Growth International): North American manufacturer of grain handling, storage, and conditioning equipment with global reach. Comparable across T H WHITE's grain conveying, storage silo, and drying/handling product lines, and increasingly active in UK and European cooperative grain terminals.
- Brock Grain Systems (CTB, Inc.): North American manufacturer of grain storage bins, aeration systems, and handling equipment. Comparable for commercial grain storage silos and conditioning systems T H WHITE integrates into cooperative and port projects, particularly at larger tonnages.
- Bühler Group: Global Swiss-headquartered manufacturer of food processing and grain handling equipment and complete processing plants. Overlaps with T H WHITE Projects in milling, malting, and bulk materials handling systems, and competes for integrated plant contracts though typically supplies rather than directly installs civil/structural works.
Emerging players
- SKOV A/S: Danish climate control and air handling specialist serving livestock and grain storage facilities. Adjacent peer for the environmental/dust and air-handling systems (including ATEX-classified dust suppression) embedded in T H WHITE's grain handling installations.
