Our History

The Story of Old Bann Enterprises

OBE was a wholly owned family business until 2011 when it was incorporated to OBE Waste & Agri Engineering Ltd, manufacturing equipment for the agricultural, construction and waste industries throughout Europe and the world. We specialise in the design, development and manufacture of Masterburn waste incinerators, OBE Agri trailers and agricultural machinery, attachments for materials handling, and Slurry-TEK vacuum tankers and slurry handling equipment.

Our roots are in agriculture with four generations of the Hylands family involved in farming over a period of 100 years. OBE Waste & Agri Engineering Ltd was formed by present partners, Darryl and Beverley Hylands, to supplement the income for their poultry farm. They began manufacturing poultry incinerators when they needed to dispose of poultry carcasses on their own farm. Soon they began to make incinerators and machinery for other farmers and business grew rapidly.

We now employ the latest design and manufacturing technology to produce quality equipment to meet today’s market needs. Our company policy is to offer our customers cost effective solutions and to exceed their expectations in customer support from design to the finished product.

Our varied client base includes farmers, veterinary practices, pet cremation services, meat processors, medical facilities, hospitals, aquaculture sites, oil exploration and mining camps, government organisations and agricultural machinery dealers. We export to over 40 countries worldwide including Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ascension Island, Poland, Iceland, Saudi Arabia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and New Zealand.

We offer bespoke solutions to ensure that our products are ‘Designed for You’ to fulfill your specific requirements. We can work with you to capture your individual requirements so that our products can help you meet your objectives, whether that’s increasing productivity, improving farm bio-security, reducing operating costs or improving safety.
