For over five decades, PALS USA has been a cornerstone of the agricultural community, delivering high-quality products and services to swine and poultry producers. Established in 1970 by the Willmar Poultry Company (WPC), PALS began as a solution for turkey growers seeking reliable equipment, medications, and barn supplies. Over the years, PALS expanded into the swine business, growing into a trusted provider of hog and poultry equipment, animal health products, and technical services across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
What Makes PALS USA Unique
At PALS, service is more than a promise—it’s a legacy. With over 35 employees and a robust technical department, the company offers a comprehensive range of products for multiple species, with swine as their primary focus.
“Our mission is simple but powerful: ‘Through our agricultural expertise, PALS provides quality products and services that improve our customers’ productivity and profitability,’” says Jason Reed of PALS USA. “We pride ourselves on being a full-service provider, offering everything our customers need in one place. Whether it’s equipment, animal health supplies, or technical support, we’re here to deliver.”
The company’s core values—Service, Employee Wellbeing, Integrity, Quality, and Dependability—are the foundation of its success, enabling PALS to build lasting relationships with producers throughout the Upper Midwest.
A Partnership Built on Trust: PALS USA and PigTek
PALS USA’s long-standing partnership with PigTek is a testament to the value of collaboration in agriculture. Even before PigTek was officially formed, PALS relied on Chore-Time equipment to meet the needs of local barns. Today, PigTek is one of PALS’ top vendors, providing reliable equipment that aligns with the specifications of many regional producers.
“Our relationship with PigTek has been a key part of our success,” Reed explains. “Many producers in our area choose PigTek equipment because of its quality and compatibility with their barn designs. This has led to strong repeat business and trust in our ability to deliver.”
Local dealers like PALS play a vital role in agriculture by offering easier access to inventory, technical expertise, and cost-saving solutions. Reed emphasizes, “Our logistical reach and variety of equipment and services allow us to meet customer needs in a way that’s both efficient and dependable.”
A Landmark Achievement
One of PALS USA’s proudest accomplishments was equipping a massive 7,000-head sow multiplier, constructed entirely of concrete, with PigTek equipment. The project, the largest in the company’s history, took over a year to complete.
“This project was a milestone for us,” says Reed. “It showcased our ability to handle large-scale operations while maintaining the quality and dependability our customers expect.”
The scale of the project is staggering—it required two and a half times more concrete than Minnesota’s US Bank Stadium or Target Field. Incredibly, within five years of completion, 20% of the world’s pig population could trace their ancestry to this site.
Looking to the Future
As PALS USA continues to expand its reach, its focus remains on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. With strong partnerships like the one with PigTek, PALS is well-positioned to remain a leader in agricultural excellence.
