We have been established since 1997 in the dairy sector of the UK agricultural industry. Take a look down our history timeline, to see our milestones.
In March 1997, we took on the RMH Mixer Wagons from Lachish Industries Ltd, and RMH UK Ltd was born.
After months of demos and hard battles, we sold our first ever diet feeder which was a RMH 420.
In 1997, we sold our first self-propelled machine, which was an RMH 280C.
In 1997, we exhibited at our first show, which was The Dairy Event at Stoneleigh Park.
In 2002, we changed our name from RMH UK Ltd to RS Agribusiness Ltd to present a better image and make our mark in the industry. The RS stands for Richard & Sarah, the company’s two founders.
After visiting Agritechnica in 2003, we imported our first cubicle sweeper, the Kersten Stallboy. This would open up a new market for us, that would become a big part of our company.
We sold our first-ever triple auger diet feeder to a long-standing customer. This machine would be the first of many.
With experience from pedestrian cubicle sweepers, we imported our first ride-on cubicle sweeper, the RS Rapide was the first of its kind.
In 2009, RS Agribusiness Ltd was rebranded to RS Agri Ltd. This was done in line with the release of the freshly designed Evolution Diet Feeder.
After years of research, design & development, we manufactured and sold our first Evolution diet feeder, an Evolution 14. This milestone was the beginning of where we are today.
With years of experience in the cubicle sweeping market, we started manufacturing and selling our own range of cubicle equipment, the RS Agri Rapide Range, consisting of the RS Agri Rapide Combi & RS Agri Rapide Brush
Along with our RS Rapide Range, we introduced the RS Agri Cubi Range, which was our mounted cubicle equipment, consisting of the RS Agri Cubi Rake & RS Agri Cubi Brush.
In 2012, we manufactured our first-ever Evolution 46 Triple. This engineering masterpiece gave us the experience and knowledge to advance our machines and keep up with our competitors.
In 2016, we sold our first-ever static diet feeder, our biggest-ever machine, the Evolution 50 Static. It was painted in the customer’s custom red paint. This opened up a new sector for us: static diet feeders used in blending plants or biogas.
To accompany the Rapide Combi & Rapide Brush, we introduced the RS Agri Rapide Combi Ride-On. This was our own first ride-on cubicle bedder.
We updated our company logo and renamed our products to keep moving forward into the modern age. The RS Agrimix Evolution Diet Feeder went to the RS Agri EVO-MIX, and the RS Agri Rapide Range was changed to the RS Agri EVO-BED range.
In 2019, RS Agri Ltd expanded its machinery range with its SABRE Bale Processors. These were designed to suit the UK farmers requirements.
In 2021, we expanded the SABRE Bale Processor range with the SABRE 900 and 900+ bale processors. These machines bring the range to 600, 600+, 900 and 900+.
In 2023, Richard’s two sons, Robert and Samuel, joined the company as Directors. This puts RS Agri’s future in safe hands.
In 2024, we revealed to the market our first ever electric cubicle sweeper, the EVO-BED eNOVA. Using a 90Ah battery & twin speed drive, the eNOVA boasts a 2-3 hour run time between charges.
Since manufacturing diet feeders in 2009, we have sold and delivered 500 Evolution and EVO-MIX Feeders in 2024.
