Restrain Partners with Crop Services to Revolutionize Potato Storage in Scotland
At Restrain, we’re thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter in our mission to deliver
sustainable crop storage solutions. We’ve joined forces with Crop Services (Scotland) Ltd, a
trusted name in Scotland’s agricultural industry, to bring cutting-edge, residue-free storage
options to Scottish farmers.

A Partnership Built on Expertise

50 years. Operating from their depots in Fife and the Scottish Borders, their team of more
than 50 agricultural experts has earned a reputation for delivering top-tier agronomic advice
and services.
By combining their local market expertise with Restrain’s innovative solutions, this
partnership is set to reshape potato storage across Scotland.

Sustainability Meets Innovation

With a growing demand for environmentally friendly practices, Restrain and Crop Services
are united in their commitment to sustainability. Our ethylene-based storage solutions and
the innovative Accumulator provide effective, residue-free sprout control tailored to the
unique needs of the Scottish agricultural community.
