Bespoke stainless: since 1973

Oversized tanks and parlour retrofits, engineered to your site.

Full parlour retrofits, oversized tanks, robotic-compatible installs, awkward-fit jobs. The bespoke stainless work that off-the-shelf suppliers won't quote, built in our Cork workshop, fitted by our own crew.

Projects we take on

Bespoke jobs we say yes to

If your project doesn't fit a standard catalogue, talk to us. Five categories of bespoke work make up the bulk of what we build.

  • 01

    Full parlour retrofits

    Re-plan and re-fit the whole milking system. Tanks, lines, washdown, layout, designed against your herd, fitted around your milking calendar.

  • 02

    Oversized custom tanks

    When you need above 15,000L, or non-standard configurations for an awkward parlour or unusual herd size.

  • 03

    Robotic-compatible installs

    Lely, DeLaval, GEA: bespoke stainless that integrates with the robot, the cooling, and the wash sequence.

  • 04

    Expansion builds

    Doubling the herd? Building a new parlour from scratch? We design and fit the full stainless backbone.

  • 05

    Awkward-fit jobs

    Old buildings, sloped floors, low ceilings, three-sided access. We measure on-site and build to fit, not to catalogue.

How we work

From farm visit to fitted system

Every bespoke project follows the same four-stage process. No surprises mid-build, no scope creep, no chasing for updates.

  1. 01

    Site visit

    We come to the farm. Walk the parlour, take measurements, talk through the brief. No charge, no commitment.

  2. 02

    Drawings & quote

    Full design, fabrication drawings, fixed price, fixed timeline. You sign off everything before steel is cut.

  3. 03

    Workshop build

    Built in Cork, in our workshop. You can come and see it being built any time. Every weld, every dimension, checked before it leaves.

  4. 04

    Site fit

    Our crew, our truck, scheduled around your milking calendar. Commissioned, signed off, paperwork done before we leave.

Questions we get

What farmers ask before bespoke jobs

Fully bespoke jobs range from €25,000 to €150,000+ depending on scope. Once we've done a site visit, you get a fixed itemised quote: every weld, every fitting, every install hour priced. No estimate-then-adjust mid-build.

Typical timeline: 1 week to site visit, 2-4 weeks to drawings and signed quote, 6-12 weeks to fabricate, 1-2 weeks to fit. Total around 12-20 weeks for a full retrofit. Tight, but realistic. We schedule fits around dry-off windows.

Yes. We'll bring you to one. Most bespoke builds we've done in the last five years are still running, and most of those farmers are happy to walk you through what we did. Reference visits are part of how you should buy this kind of investment.

Lely, DeLaval, GEA, Boumatic, Waikato. We've integrated stainless with all the major systems. The robot doesn't dictate the steel, but the steel needs to respect the robot. We design around what's there.

TAMS Dairy Equipment Scheme covers a lot of bespoke work too, not just standard tanks. We'll quote in DAFM-aligned format and help with the application paperwork. Larger projects sometimes split across two TAMS tranches to maximise the grant.

Start with a site visit

Got a parlour worth visiting?

Send us the basics: herd size, parlour type, what's there now, what you're trying to do. We'll come out for a free site visit, walk you through what's possible, and come back with a structured proposal.

Site visits free across Munster. Limited bespoke project capacity each quarter. Early engagement matters.
