facilities in the United States as well as in multiple locations around the globe.

With a billion dollars in annual sales, CTB is committed to contin-ued sales growth. About half of CTB’s revenue is generated outside the United States, primarily through the company’s strong network of independent distributors and dealers. The company has grown through both innovation and acqui-sition, and it markets its systems and solutions under a variety of prominent brand names that are well-known in their industries. Founded in 1952, CTB has been a Berkshire Hathaway company since 2002.

Another of the key factors driving CTB’s business is the increasing demand for feed and grain for the production of protein, biofuels and other uses. As the world’s crop-land per person has decreased, the need to protect feed and grain from post-harvest loss has become increasingly crucial. CTB’s systems help preserve the quality of harvested grain through the latest technology in structures, storage, handling, conditioning and drying.

CTB is headquartered in Milford, Indiana, in a farming area with a rich agricultural heritage. In addition to its global headquarters facility, CTB operates additional
