By PW Maines on Jun 1, 2026 9:38:29 AM

PW Maines enjoyed a busy and highly successful two days at the British Pig & Poultry Fair 2026, held at the NEC Birmingham on 13th and 14th May.

The stand was buzzing from the moment the doors opened, with poultry producers, suppliers, existing customers, and industry professionals stopping by throughout the event. Across both days, the show created valuable opportunities to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections, and discuss the future of poultry farming with people from across the sector.

For PW Maines, the event was a chance to showcase a range of poultry housing, lighting, ventilation, automation, and environmental control solutions, supported by trusted supplier partners from the UK, Europe, and America.

A Strong Turnout At The PW Maines Stand

The atmosphere on the PW Maines stand was excellent throughout the show. There was a steady flow of visitors across both days, with discussions covering a wide range of current priorities for poultry producers.

Topics included bird welfare, dynamic lighting, air quality, ammonia control, farm automation, aviary systems, and improving poultry house efficiency. These discussions reflected the issues many producers are dealing with on a farm, from managing running costs to maintaining stable poultry house conditions and planning future upgrades.

The event also gave the PW Maines team the opportunity to speak directly with visitors about practical systems that can support better environmental management inside poultry houses.

Showcasing Trusted Poultry Technology

A key part of the stand was the opportunity for visitors to see and discuss technology from PW Maines’ supplier partners.

Once, a Signify brand, and Tecno products featured prominently on the stand, with visitors showing strong interest in poultry lighting, housing, and environmental control solutions.

Dynamic lighting was one of the main talking points, particularly with producers looking at ways to support bird welfare, behaviour, and overall house performance. Poultry lighting is an important part of the wider house environment, so the event created useful conversations around how lighting can work alongside ventilation, housing, and control systems.

Tecno products also attracted interest, especially around poultry housing and aviary systems. For producers considering new installations or future upgrades, the show provided a chance to ask questions, explore product options, and understand how different systems could suit their own sites.

Technical Support From Supplier Partners

PW Maines was joined at the event by five supplier partners: Once, a Signify brand, Tecno, Hotraco Agri, Plettenburg, and Scan-Air.

With representatives and technical support from Europe and America, the stand gave visitors direct access to the people behind the systems, as well as the PW Maines team who understand how those technologies apply in practical UK poultry farm environments.

This added real value to the exchanges across both days. Visitors could ask detailed questions about product performance, system selection, and how different technologies could support specific poultry house requirements.

Hotraco Agri supported discussions around automation and environmental management, including systems such as the Fortica Max computer. Visitors were able to explore how modern poultry control systems can help improve monitoring and give producers clearer visibility over house conditions.

Plettenburg and Scan-Air added further insight into ventilation, heat exchange, and air movement, which were important topics throughout the event. Air quality and ammonia control came up regularly, particularly with producers looking to maintain better conditions inside poultry houses.

The mix of supplier expertise and PW Maines’ practical understanding of UK poultry environments helped create a stand where visitors could move from general interest to more detailed, site-relevant discussion.

Useful Discussions With The Poultry Industry

One of the most valuable parts of the event was the quality of the conversations across both days.

The PW Maines team spoke with poultry producers, suppliers, and wider industry professionals about the challenges facing modern farms and the role that well-designed systems can play in supporting day-to-day management.

Many visitors were interested in how farms can improve efficiency without adding unnecessary complexity. Others wanted to discuss specific areas such as lighting upgrades, environmental control, automation, ventilation improvements, and aviary systems.

There were also important catch-ups with existing customers and trusted suppliers. These conversations help the PW Maines team stay close to what is happening on farms, what producers are prioritising, and where the industry is heading next.

A Positive Event For PW Maines And The Wider Sector

The British Pig & Poultry Fair remains an important meeting point for the poultry industry, and this year’s event showed the level of interest in practical, well-supported solutions for modern poultry farming.

For PW Maines, the show was a strong opportunity to bring key technologies together in one place and speak directly with the people who use, manage, and invest in poultry housing systems.

The level of engagement across the stand highlighted the continued importance of lighting, ventilation, automation, and environmental control in helping farms improve conditions, support bird welfare, and operate more efficiently.

After two productive days at the NEC Birmingham, the team left the show with useful follow-up discussions, new connections across the sector, and a clear sense of the priorities shaping the future of poultry housing.

PW Maines would like to thank everyone who visited the stand across the two days, as well as the supplier partners who supported the event. It was a hugely successful show, full of practical conversations, strong industry engagement, and plenty of positive momentum.

Whether you visited the stand or could not make it to the NEC Birmingham, the PW Maines team would be happy to continue the conversation and talk through the lighting, ventilation, automation, and environmental control solutions showcased at the British Pig & Poultry Fair 2026.
