Some of the companies provide vertically integrated solutions in the flexible silos market. One such company is Maguire Products Inc., a US-based material handling systems Manufacturer Company which offers flexible silos of capacity up to 50 tonnes and different types of silo systems.

Earlier, most of the industrial silos were made up of aluminum and steel material but the trend is changing from the metallic material to flexible fabric materials. For eg. – ABS silo and conveyor systems GmbH, a Germany based company has installed more than 70,000 silos worldwide which are made up of the high-strength, high-tech polyester fabric. One of the recent acquisitions in the flexible silos market is –

• In 2016, ABS silo and conveyor systems GmbH acquired the Spanish flexible silo manufacturer, Supersilo to strengthen its presence in the global flexible silo market. After acquisition, the company has become one of the largest global manufacturer of the flexible silos in the world.
• Flexible silos are prominently used for the packaging of the food & beverages and chemical products. Both of these industries comprises of around 50% of the global flexible silos market.
