25 Years of Innovation in Dairy Ventilation
Employees of Secco International Inc.
On October 25, 2025, SKOV-SECCO (also known as Secco International Inc.) celebrates its 25th anniversary. Starting as Secco Plastique in Quebec, the company has transformed dairy operations across dozens of countries throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific. This milestone marks the company's long-standing commitment to providing innovative, energy-efficient, climate-adaptive ventilation solutions for dairy farms that prioritize productivity and animal welfare.
Over two and a half decades, SKOV-SECCO has continuously evolved its products and expanded globally, meeting the increasing demands of modern milk production. Recent innovations include the Boreal Flow 55 recirculation fan and the BlueControl Mini Dairy controller, demonstrating the company's commitment to advancing dairy technology. These innovations impact not only global milk production efficiency but also sustainability and profitability for hundreds of dairy farmers worldwide.

"Twenty-five years is a significant passage. We are proud of this journey and the success built through the dedication of our employees, supported by our dealers, our growth partner SKOV in Denmark, our suppliers, and the farmers who put their trust in us. The commitment instilled by our founders continues to guide us today. Rooted in agriculture, we remain grounded in caring for our products, supporting our customers, and contributing to the vast portrait of feeding the planet," says Jamie Breton, CEO of Secco International Inc. in Canada.
SKOV-SECCO's quarter-century journey has been shaped by its dedicated employees and trusted business partners. Recognizing these relationships will be central to the 25th anniversary celebrations. The company's evolution from Secco Plastique (founded in 2000) through Ventilation Secco and Secco International, to SKOV-SECCO in 2024, reflects its growth following the strategic merger with Denmark's SKOV Group in 2019.
"As we look to the future, we remain guided by our motto: Taking Care. It reflects our values of service, care, and taking to heart what we do every day. Looking back, we will celebrate our achievements with our employees and honor the vision of our founders. Throughout the year, we will also recognize the vital role of our dealers. Looking ahead, our focus is on bringing new innovations and continuously improving ourselves and our products, always with the same spirit of care that has carried us through the past 25 years," Jamie Breton continues.
