United States · Part of Berkshire Hathaway
CTB is an American industrial group and a Berkshire Hathaway company, based in Milford, Indiana. It brings together a family of specialist brands that serve different stages of livestock and grain production, from feed storage on the farm to equipment for processing plants. Chore-Time and Roxell supply farm equipment, Brock covers grain storage and handling, Fancom makes controls, PigTek focuses on pig production and Meyn equips poultry processing plants.
In practice, CTB's brands supply the systems that keep animal houses and grain sites running: silos and grain handling equipment, automatic feed delivery, ventilation and the controllers that tie them together. Because each brand looks after one stage of production, a poultry or pig farm usually deals with the brand responsible for its part of the project. On larger builds, silos, feed lines, ventilation and controls have to work as one system, so integration, installation, spare parts and local service all matter as much as the equipment itself.
Size of the business
CTB reports more than 3,000 employees and 46 manufacturing and warehouse facilities worldwide. These figures describe CTB itself, not Berkshire Hathaway as a whole.
What does the company offer?
CTB supplies farm equipment through Chore-Time and Roxell, grain storage and handling through Brock, controls through Fancom, pig production equipment through PigTek and poultry processing equipment through Meyn.
How should a buyer make contact?
Sales are organised by country and by business unit, and the CTB website lists the brands and their local contacts. Enquiries are handled most quickly when they describe the application, the project size and the timing.
