Revenue model

1. Silage Clamp Design and Construction: ARK Agri designs and supplies silage clamp systems (sloping wall and vertical wall) to dairy farmers, livestock farmers, and anaerobic digestion plants. Customers source their own ground workers for construction (ARK is supply-only). Clamp projects are typically bespoke, priced project-by-project. A conventional design takes as little as 4 weeks from construction start to useable.
2. Silage Protection Products: Sale of silage clamp ancillaries including sidewall film, clamp paint, handrails, and bunker mats through the e-commerce store. Products are priced per unit or per pack. Includes high oxygen barrier films (OXY SEAL/Silostop range) and Secure Covers netting.
3. Technical Advisory and Design Services: Provision of expert technical advice on silage clamp design, safety, regulations (SSAFO compliance), drainage, asphalt flooring specification, and clamp sizing. Services are bundled with clamp system sales.

Core offering

ARK Agriculture designs, supplies, and sheets silage clamps (both patented 23-degree sloping-wall systems and vertical-wall systems using Bosch Beton panels) and distributes a complementary range of silage protection products including OXY SEAL high oxygen barrier films, sidewall films, UV-stable clamp netting, ARK Wall Paint, ARK Handrails, and Heavy Bunker Mats. Products are sold directly to UK dairy and livestock farmers and anaerobic digestion (AD) plant operators through a Shopify e-commerce store, direct sales contacts, and a referral network of approved ground workers. The company also provides technical advisory and design services for clamp sizing, SSAFO compliance, and drainage/effluent planning, bundled with clamp system sales.

Product overview

ARK Agriculture offers silage storage solutions centered on two main clamp systems: Sloping Walled Silage Clamps (with 23-degree sloping walls enabling up to 35% capacity increase) and Vertical Wall Silage Clamps (partnering with Bosch Beton). The product portfolio also includes silage protection accessories including OXY SEAL oxygen barrier films, Sidewall Film, ARK Wall Paint, ARK Handrails, and Heavy Bunker Mats. The company was founded in 2012 as part of the Milbank Group, expanded through acquisitions of Secure Covers (2019) and Silostop (2021), now operating under Silostop Agri brand. They provide design services for silage clamps tailored to dairy/livestock farmers and anaerobic digestion plants, along with repair and maintenance products.

Products and services

• ARK Sloping Walled Silage Clamp Pre-cast concrete silage clamp with patented 23-degree sloping walls allowing improved compaction across the clamp and along the shoulders; supports safe surcharging for up to 35% more capacity versus traditional vertical wall clamps; SSAFO compliant and approved by the Environment Agency. For UK dairy and livestock farmers and AD plant operators.
• ARK Vertical Wall Silage Clamp Vertical walled silage clamp system using L, T and U-shaped precast wall panels (supplied in partnership with Bosch Beton), designed for silage storage and modern machinery loading; available in sizes up to 4m high without extensive foundations; SSAFO compliant. For UK dairy/livestock farmers and AD plant operators.
• OXY SEAL High Oxygen Barrier Silage Film Industry-leading oxygen barrier silage film using engineered barrier polymers with oxygen transmission rates below 25 cm3/m2/24h, reducing surface dry matter losses from ~14% to 3-4% and mould spoilage by ~70%. For dairy, livestock, and AD plant operators seeking improved silage preservation.
• ARK Sidewall Film Strong, durable 150-micron recyclable silage clamp protection film that shields concrete panels from corrosive silage leachate, preventing panel deterioration and plastic contamination of silage. Available in 5x50m, 5x75m, and 7x50m sizes from £105.00 ex VAT per roll.
• ARK Wall Paint (Agri Wall Paint) Water-based grey paint providing a smooth protective finish for concrete silage clamp panels; protects against corrosive silage leachate and prevents silage from sticking to walls, reducing mould and bacteria growth; non-toxic and non-allergenic. Available in 10-litre tubs at £102.00 ex VAT.
• ARK Handrails Galvanized steel handrail safety system for silage clamps featuring a 'Pop In, Pop Out' design that improves operator safety, adheres to Health and Safety regulations, and allows one-person removal for access to clamp areas. Quote-based pricing.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• EasyFix: Irish manufacturer of livestock handling, rubber matting and silage cover products. Direct overlap with ARK's silage protection product line (films, netting, bunker mats) serving the same dairy and livestock farmer customer base across the British Isles.

Emerging players

• Strautmann: German manufacturer of silage handling and feeding technology including block cutters and loader wagons. Comparable because it sells into the same forage/silage workflow on European dairy and livestock farms, though it focuses on handling equipment rather than fixed clamp infrastructure.
• Seko: Italian maker of silage block cutters, mixers and feed-handling equipment. Overlaps with ARK in supporting the silage workflow on dairy and beef farms, addressing forage quality and clamp utilisation challenges similar to those ARK targets.

Others

• Bosch Beton: Dutch precast concrete manufacturer that supplies the L, T and U-shaped wall panels ARK distributes in the UK. A direct supply partner rather than a competitor, but commercially adjacent in precast agricultural retaining and clamp walling.

Regional players

• Spaldings: UK-based distributor of agricultural equipment, parts, and consumables. Comparable as a domestic route-to-market for agricultural inputs, although it operates broadly across farm consumables rather than specialising in silage infrastructure.
• Teagle Machinery: UK agricultural machinery manufacturer producing bale processors, shredders and feeding equipment. Comparable as a UK-headquartered ag-equipment specialist serving livestock farms with capital equipment, though its portfolio is centred on mobile machinery rather than fixed clamp systems.

Broad incumbents

• Trioliet: Dutch manufacturer of TMR mixers, feed robots and livestock feeding technology. Comparable as a European livestock-feeding equipment specialist, addressing adjacent parts of the forage handling and feed-out workflow that ARK's clamps support.
• Lely: Dutch dairy farming solutions provider (milking robots, feeding, barn equipment). Comparable as an established dairy-farm equipment incumbent serving UK herds, though Lely's portfolio centres on automated milking and feeding rather than silage clamp construction.
• Kuhn Group: French agricultural machinery manufacturer with a broad tillage, seeding, hay/silage and livestock equipment portfolio. Comparable as a broad-line ag equipment incumbent that competes for capital expenditure on European livestock farms, though it does not specialise in fixed clamp infrastructure.
• Claas: German agricultural machinery leader in harvesters, foragers and balers. Comparable as a broad-line incumbent whose forage harvesting equipment is directly complementary to ARK's downstream silage storage workflow on UK farms.
