AM Warkup specialises in designing and manufacturing innovative pig housing solutions, with decades of experience providing high-quality, bespoke systems that prioritise animal welfare, efficiency, and durability. Our tailored designs meet the unique needs of modern farming by combining advanced engineering with a deep understanding of agricultural requirements to deliver solutions that stand the test of time. Founded in 1963 by Mick Warkup, the company pioneered the use of prefabricated panels for constructing robust, cost-effective, and flexible pig buildings, enabling speed of erection on site.
This approach has evolved over the years with improved panel production techniques and materials, enhancing longevity and cost-effectiveness. AM Warkup leverages computer technology for accurate and speedy design, enabling a fast and effective service worldwide, with options for training local labour or sending a qualified foreman. The company offers a standard building range designed for cost-effectiveness and efficiency in pig production systems, with choices for insulation values and materials to suit local conditions and building regulations.
For specific requirements, custom packages can be designed. AM Warkup is committed to supporting farmers with reliable, expertly crafted housing that optimises productivity and care, partnering for excellence in pig housing innovation.
