Ever wondered what sets Conwed apart in the agricultural and hay bale market? We sat down with one of our industry experts to discuss our innovative approach to netting solutions.
In the interview, we covered the development and testing of our netting, Conwed’s consistency for longer-lasting bales, agricultural trends like advanced equipment and sustainability, and our commitment to innovation with degradable and compostable products to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.
Q: Tell us a little about your experience. When did you join Conwed? How long have you been focused on the hay bale and agriculture market?
I’ve been selling technical products for over 40 years and been with Conwed going on 17 years. I got involved with agricultural products and specifically hay bale 15 years ago.
Q: Can you share some insights into Conwed’s development process of netting and its in-house testing capabilities?
Conwed is the world leader in the development and production of extruded square netting and continuously develops custom netting products to fulfill the demanding needs of their customers. A rigorous process is used to develop not only the new product but also a testing process so to be able to repeatably supply the same quality product time after time.
Q: When it comes to hay bale netting, what are the main criteria that are important to your customers? What sets the Conwed netting apart from others?
The difference between Conwed and the others is consistency. We can deliver the same product time after time that is stronger so they can put up a denser quality bale that will last longer in the field. Another advantage is when they go to use these bales, they won’t have twine or knitted yarn tangling in their equipment and possibly consumed by the animals which can lead to animal death.
Q: Are there any trends and developments you observed in the agriculture and hay bale market?
We have observed significant advancements predominantly in the equipment sector, indicating a growing trend towards machines that can efficiently utilize extruded netting.
With our extensive portfolio and global production capabilities, we serve customizable netting solutions tailored to meet application-specific requirements and machine processability needs within the agricultural and hay bale sector.
Q: What recent innovations at Conwed excite you the most?
