Ro-Main joins IMV Technologies Group

Innovation and collaboration

Ro-Main is the company that started in 1999 with one revolutionary reproduction product called Contact-O-Max and is now a recognised world leader in computer vision and IoT solutions for pig producers.

Over the past 10 years, Ro-Main has invested in the development of hardware and software solutions to automate low value-added recurring operations, enable continuous animal monitoring and provide unbiased and accurate decision tools to support livestock farmers in their quest for safer, more profitable, animal-friendly and ecological protein production.

Jacquelin Labrecque, CEO of Ro-Main: "We are delighted to be joining the IMV Technologies Group. This new home will provide us with the resources to take our business to the next level, while leveraging on a shared vision of the future of swine production. IMV Technologies is a natural fit for us with values that we share, a family feeling, and a similar history to ours centred around reproduction innovation."

Our parent company IMV Technologies is a market leader in biotechnology for assisted reproduction. Founded in 1963, IMV has offices in several countries and provides solutions for various sectors, including semen analysis, artificial insemination and veterinary imaging.

Alain de Lambilly, CEO of IMV Technologies: "Ro-Main is a great business and we are pleased to welcome Jacquelin and his team into the IMV Technologies family. We have been impressed by Ro-Main’s capacity to providing high-tech, yet down-to-earth and meaningful solutions for pig producers. The combination of their historically strong products such as Contact-O-Max, Hercules’ Arm and No Backdraft, and their more recent artificial-intelligence-powered software and IoT technologies make up for a strong product portfolio for the future development of the company. At IMV, one of our core values is Innovation and we recognise that Ro-Main is committed to transforming the lives of pig producers with their technologies, solutions and multidisciplinary approach. Conception Ro-Main inc. will join our growing Farm Animal business, bringing additional experience, products, and software solutions to our comprehensive product range, further expanding our offering around the world."
