Our Story

Robop Ltd was started in 2001 in response to rapidly increasing gull populations in the urban environment, which was having a serious impact on the owners of large buildings where traditional approaches were not working. The concept was the brainchild of Bob McIntyre, who possessed a lifetime of practical knowledge and experience in bird behaviour, joined by Alan Davie, Bob Samuel and John Donald, experts in building and financing technology companies.

The aim was to bring a sophisticated, attractive and effective product to market, offering flexibility, a long life span and the ability to cover extensive areas where bird netting and spikes ceased to be practical or cost-effective.

All Robop systems are custom made at our engineering centre in Scotland. Each Robop has over 100 parts and is built to order, manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and modern materials. We don't make or sell anything else - we are a highly focused company dedicated to solving bird control issues using our unique technology.
