Valstone Strengthens Its Agriculture Software Portfolio with the Acquisition of PigKnows
Montreal, Canada, June 4th, 2025 – Valstone, a leader in industrial and vertical market software solutions, is pleased to announce the acquisition of PigKnows, the premier provider of swine production management software in North America. This strategic acquisition expands Valstone’s footprint in the agricultural technology sector and supports its long-term commitment to empowering critical industries through specialized software.
For over a decade, PigKnows has provided producers with real-time insights and advanced tools to manage breeding programs, track pig inventory, streamline feed operations, monitor animal health, and optimize overall herd performance. The platform is trusted by leading swine producers to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure traceability across their operations.
