Limited Exeter has grown
from an idea into an in-
ternational reality.
Today Big '0' is one of the
most comprehensive, full-
service land drainage
organizations in the world.
Big '0' was originally
conceived ih 1967 to over-
come a shortage of clay
drainage tile. Farmers,
constantly wrestling with the
problems of land drainage,
were using clay drainage tile
In increasing amounts. The
result — a drastic shortage
of supplies.
To quickly solve this
problem, a group of Ontario
contractors and investors
pooled their resources and
formed a company; The Big
'0' Drain Tile Company
Limited. Initial plans called
for the production of con-
crete tile. Then, a new
concept of producing plastic
drainage tubing with con-
tinuous production extruders
entered the scene from the
United States and Europe.
Subsequent studies' con-
vinced Big '0' founders that
plastic was indeed the
drainage product of the
future. A year later, plastic
tubing was being produced
at the new Big 'O' plant in
Hensall, Ontario.
Two years later, the plant
doubled in size and a -second
production centre was
established in Coteau -du -
Lac, Quebec. Canada's
farmers had found an ideal
remedy for their—drainage
woes.
By 1972, continued demand
for Big '0' plastic drainage
tubing resulted in the ad-
dition of three production
lines in each plant. At the
same time, Big '0' began
researching the potential of
knitted filters. These filters
would prevent clogging of
the tubing by fine soils. This
research led to the, in-
stallation of automatic
knitting machines and
market acceptance has been
such that, now, thirty of the
units are in operation.
With its reputation as a
supplier of quality drainage
materials firmly
esjablished, Big '0' ex-
panded locations intoAlberta
and Manitoba. In Ville de
Lauzon, Quebec, a -new plant
was built to service Eastern
Quebec and the Maritimes.
iversary
And, to s ppiy Eastern
Ontario, Big 'O' purchased
Winchester D. in Tile, with
plants in Win ester and
Earlton. In the m antime, it
also acquired four other
companies — Kraft
Machinery, •Laserplane
(Canada), Dresden Tile
Yard anti Comber Tile Yard.
Big 'O' was now the most
comprehensive, full-service
land drainage organization
in Canada.
Then, in 1978, Big '0' went
international. Agriterre
International was formed.
Agriterre offers the com-
bined experience of The Big
'0' Drain Tile Company
Limited and Canada Wire
andf'i,b�le (International)
Limited! Specifically, it
provides full product,
research, manufacturing,
installation and service
capabilities for subsurface
drainage and irrigation
programs around the world.
The Big '0' organization is
marking its tenth an-
niversary not only as a
company but also as the
instigators of plastic
drainage in Canada. When
.you put it all together, what
does it mean? Simply this.
Big '0' is helping farmers
worldwide increase
productivity. '
And that's something to
celebrate.
