Berry Global’s Silotite® brand is marking four decades of pioneering advancements in agricultural bale wrapping, highlighting its legacy of innovation, reliability, and steadfast commitment to continuous product development for the agricultural sector.
The introduction of Silotite to the UK market helped revolutionise bale wrapping, paving the way for significant investments in state-of-the-art multi-layer and advanced extrusion technologies. These advancements, which have taken place at Berry’s facilities in the UK and Belgium, represent a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in bale wrap technology. The recent unveiling of Berry’s SilotitePro 1800 Sustane film, featuring 24% less environmental load and 25% post-consumer recycled content, embodies a leap forward in sustainable agricultural films.
Other notable introductions like Baletite®, SilotitePro, and innovations in sleeve packaging reflect Berry’s responsiveness to the evolving needs of the agricultural industry and proactive approach to improving silage protection solutions that aim to support farmers and contractors in their environmental responsibilities.
The brand’s dedication to continuous and collaborative innovation is at the heart of Silotite’s success. By engaging directly with the farming community and working closely with key research establishments to undertake commercial-scale trials, Berry helps ensure its product developments are scientifically grounded and closely aligned with the sector's needs.
Reflecting on the brand's significant influence, Lloyd Dawson, Sales Director for UK, Ireland, Pacific, and Asia at Silotite, said, “We remain committed to providing farmers with cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency, promote sustainability, and contribute to their success.”
Today, Silotite’s market-leading range of balewrap films continues to be used worldwide to preserve a variety of winter forage, including grass, maize, sugar beet pulp, clovers, alfalfa, and legumes, protecting these vital foodstuffs from climatic conditions.
