What envirotech ag systems does

Envirotech Ag Systems is a privately held Canadian company headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, that provides turn-key equipment, design, and building solutions for livestock confinement operations, primarily serving swine and poultry producers across North America. The company was formed in 1998 through the merger of Feed-Rite Ltd.'s equipment division and Envirotech Controllers Ltd., and has delivered over 200 livestock confinement systems for hogs and poultry over the past 25 years. It operates from three warehouse locations (Winnipeg, Sioux Falls SD opened 2016, Great Falls MT) and self-describes as having 'the largest and most comprehensive service team in North America,' with a 24/7 support hotline and full installation department. Customers are reached through a direct, enterprise field sales motion with phone, email, and website contact channels, and the company sells customized rather than off-the-shelf packages.

The company's core product portfolio spans ventilation systems (chimney, tunnel, and combination ventilation for swine; natural, negative pressure, tunnel, and mixed-mode for poultry), automated feeding systems (nursery/finisher flex-auger and chain disk, sow gestation with RFID ear-tag electronic feeding, and poultry pan and trough feeders), Pro-Sort scale sorter systems, and heating/cooling equipment (blower heaters, hot water fin pipe systems delivering up to 80,000 BTU/hr with 15–20% energy savings, cool cell pads). Technical differentiation comes from Envirotech-designed control cabinets integrated with industry-standard master controllers (Maximus, Chore-time, Fancom), Big Dutchman multi-phase feeding systems capable of delivering up to 32,000 pounds of feed per day, and combination ventilation systems enabling zone-by-zone control. Reported performance outcomes include sorting accuracy exceeding 95%, labor reduction of up to 50% during market transfers, and target feed conversion ratios of approximately 2.5–3.0.

Revenue is generated through a combination of hardware sales (equipment) bundled with professional services (design, engineering, project management, installation, commissioning) and recurring after-sales support and parts, all priced via custom quotes based on barn size, system specifications, and client needs. The company serves two primary verticals (swine and poultry producers) across two size tiers (family farms and large-scale commercial operations), with no public pricing disclosed. The customer base evidenced in published testimonials consists of SMB family-operated farms, with featured projects including 4,800-head finisher barns, 5,000-head wean-to-finish research barns, and 4,800-head grow-to-finish facilities. Industry association memberships (Montana Pork, National Pork Board affiliates, Alberta Pork, Expor) indicate active community participation supporting referral-driven demand.
