Company history

1968	David Cooper was commissioned to carry out a project to design a grass cutter for a farming enterprise, Bobbingdon Estates Limited. A new building was constructed at Rydal Farm to accomodate the manufacture/engineering work.
1966	ARM used its manufacturing facilities to produce items on a sub-contract basis for many companies, the most notable was Sisis Equipment Ltd which manufactures a range of horticultural equipment. This continued until 2002.
	A private limited company, Castellan Engineering Ltd was taken over by ARM.

	The ARM Roundhouse was developed to house pigs. The Mark I was 38 feet in diameter with a perimeter passageway which provided access to the pigs. Wedge shaped adjustable sized pens accommodated pigs varying in size from weaner to finishing.
1965	An automatic opening and closing rear door for silage trailers was designed and built by David Cooper.
