Cold weather helps Carr's Milling Industries

Carlisle-based Carr’s Milling Industries says persistent cold weather until May has significantly helped sales of its feeds products.

The agricultural and engineering firm said it was now seeing record production from its Watertown factory in the US and a Lancaster factory was opened in June to manufacture Carr’s AminoMax product.

Carr’s said its milling business had started to improve thanks to poor UK harvests and reliance on overseas wheat, processed at its plants.

The company described milling as an industry “plagued by overcapacity and volatile input prices.”

Across Carr’s engineering division, demand for remote handling equipment in the nuclear and petrochemicals industries had contributed to building revenues.

The Bendell division has made substantial progress in completing a multi-million dollar contract with Hyundai to supply pressure supply vessels to a BP oil project near the Shetland Islands.
