Our History
80 Years of Innovation and Leadership
From agricultural beginnings to global infrastructure leadership, discover how Valmont has shaped the modern world through decades of innovation, growth, and bold entrepreneurship.
Built on a Legacy of Strength and Innovation
Valmont began in 1946 with a single idea: engineer better infrastructure to improve how the world works. From irrigation systems that transformed agriculture to the utility and lighting structures that power modern life, Valmont has spent nearly 80 years building the backbone of global progress.
That same engineering expertise drives Valmont Telecom today.
Through decades of innovation and strategic acquisitions—including PiRod®, Microflect®, Site Pro 1®, Larson Camouflage, and ConcealFab®—we've grown into a comprehensive provider of telecom infrastructure and components that connect communities worldwide.
Our heritage ensures one thing: when customers choose Valmont Telecom, they're backed by a global company built to last—and built to lead the next generation of connectivity.
