Ritchey was formed in 1972 to specialise in the manufacture of ear tags and animal identification products. The range has increased to include healthcare, products for calving, lambing and farrowing, footcare and handling, a range of grooming products for sheep and cattle and, more recently, equine, veterinary, pet and hygiene products.

Ritchey is a leading independent British manufacturer and supplies products worldwide.

More recently the introduction of equine, veterinary and pet products has increased the scope of product interest and in June 2005 a completely new range of own manufacture products was introduced.

These include a unique dry marking stick which can mark the equivalent of 2 x 500ml aerosols. It is non-hazardous, easy to transport and store and could halve marking costs. A new dry powder natural disinfectant, together with new products for cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, makes Ritchey one company for all your needs.

In-house expertise and liaison with external consultants and official organisations ensure quality, reliability and service. All products have undergone stringent field trials and testing before being introduced into the product range.

Ritchey offers customers in the UK and overseas an unbeatable service through its partnership approach to the agricultural supply industry. The Company places great importance in this co-operation which ensures customers are regularly visited, including overseas distributors, and advice and support is readily available to answer product or legislative queries.
