Renn Mill Center

What Renn Mill Center does

RENN Mill Center LP (founded circa 1964) is a Canadian manufacturer of grain processing and grain bag storage equipment, headquartered and produced in Lacombe, Alberta. Since May 2023 the company operates as a division of Degelman Industries LP, a Canadian agricultural equipment platform. RENN's product portfolio spans three lines: grain bagging equipment (RGB 1020C, RGB 1016T, and RGB 1220 grain baggers plus FBU 1014 Farm Boy and RGU 1218 CD grain bag unloaders); grain processing equipment (RMC-series roller mills in eight configurations, RH-series 22-inch full-circle hammer mills, auxiliary PTO roller mills, and combined RBA-series bagger mills); and hay products (four bale processor models, a 35-foot hayland float/molehill leveler, and an Original Level Wind Wire Roller). It also distributes IDEAL Post Pounders and UniTube Grain Conveyors exclusively in Western Canada.

The underlying technology is mechanical engineering rather than software: precision-machined 16-inch diameter dynamically-balanced rolls, an optional 40% Differential Drive (the largest in the industry per company claims, with self-cleaning action), patented grain-bagger transport and loading systems refined over 15+ years, and an onboard Recycle-Ready Plastic Management System using hydraulic ratchet rewinds. Two patents have been granted — the RENN Integrated Transport System and the Plastic Management System — alongside proprietary cradle designs for bale processors and PTO auxiliary mill configurations refined over 18 years.

RENN sells exclusively through authorized dealers and regional distributor partners, with no direct e-commerce or transactional pricing on its website. Pricing is quote-based and dealer-mediated. The customer base comprises individual and commercial livestock operations (dairy and beef, ranging from 200-head cow/calf pairs to 60,000-head beef or 1,000-cow dairy), grain farmers using in-field bag storage, and hay/forage producers. Distribution covers Western Canada, all US states, and international markets including the UK, Ireland, Eastern Europe, New Zealand, Finland, Scandinavia, and Australia, with products in use in more than 25 countries.
