About Arrowquip
Our story begins in 1988 on the Firth Family farm in Tamworth, Australia. As the son of a farmer, Phil Firth saw the opportunity to improve the way his family managed their livestock, and created his first cattle crush for personal use on the family farm. Within a year, local veterinarians saw the potential of his design and were drawn to the focus of a safer way to work with cattle. The Firth Family began building crushes to sell to local veterinarians, and the brand grew rapidly over the next few years to dominate the Australian cattle industry.
In 2003, the Firth Family partnered with the Langrells from rural Manitoba, and started building their first cattle crushes in North America. Like the Firths, the Langrell family brought generations of cattle farming expertise to the table and together they began crafting the most innovative cattle crushes and beef cattle farm equipment ever seen in the industry.
Until 2017, the Arrowquip factory consisted of four converted hog barns, a warehouse, and a small office space. Then in December 2017, the Arrowquip team moved into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and office space to meet the demands of the market and improve their manufacturing processes.
Four years later, the factory hosts two in-house tube lasers, and the Arrowquip team has grown from 30 to over 125 employees with no sign of stopping. With a focus on crafting new products that are designed to improve the way farmers manage their livestock with safer and easier to use equipment, this is just the beginning. The best you will see from the Arrowquip team is still to come.
