As the business grew, the VanBuuren family decided to enlarge their operations to a plant in Grassie, Ontario. With over 100,000 square feet of production and warehouse space, the Ontario plant features:

8 Rotational Molding Stations
1 Robotic Trimming cell
1 Pulverizer
5 shipping bays

By having a larger production facility, the company was able to produce more calf housing products that were shipping not just to Canada, but to the United States, Europe, Asia, Mexico, Middle East and South America.

In 2018, a second production facility in Sidney, Nebraska was built. By having a distribution plant in the western U.S., Agri-Plastics was able to meet higher production demands, as well as getting product out to the customers faster. The Sidney, Nebraska plant is 159,000 square feet. This facility features:

8 Rotational Molding Stations
State-of the-art powder dispensing system
3 Robotic Trimming Cells
In-house recycling program
5 shipping bays

Protect your valuable calves with the world`s toughest hutches
The VanBuurens know first-hand the challenges involved in raising healthy dairy calves. As third-generation dairymen they began experimenting with hutch designs to provide a healthier, more comfortable environment for calves while improving efficiencies for their business. In 1995, they founded Agri-Plastics to provide local dairy farmers with a better option for housing and caring for the next generation of milkers.

Over the years, Agri-Plastics listened and learned as other producers talked about their own calf housing challenges. And they responded with game-changing innovations that have since become industry standards.

Today, Agri-Plastics hutches are prized the world over for their unique durability, efficiency and ease of use. But at the heart of it all is a family true to its roots, delivering proven calf housing systems for dairy farmers, by dairy farmers.

We understand the value of your calves, and we’re dedicated to helping you shelter your investment.
