How Valmont Industries centralized global project management with monday.com

Meet Valmont Industries

Founded in 1946, Valmont Industries is a global leader in infrastructure and agriculture. Its infrastructure division delivers lighting, telecommunications, and utility structures, while its agriculture division, anchored by the Valley Irrigation brand, is the world’s largest manufacturer of mechanized irrigation systems.

Headquartered in Valley, Nebraska, Valmont operates in over 20 countries, including Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. With thousands of employees worldwide, Valmont’s mission is to conserve resources and improve life by advancing agriculture and critical infrastructure

The challenge

Before monday.com, project management at Valmont was fragmented across Microsoft tools, legacy trackers, and inconsistent workflows. Teams struggled with accountability, duplicate work, and a lack of leadership visibility.

“We had all kinds of different tools across the company, but what was missing was one centralized place where everyone could organize projects and see who was responsible for what.” Kendra Seier

As an agile organization running new product development projects lasting from six months to three years, Valmont needed a system that supported sprint planning, burn-downs, and clear milestone tracking.

The solution

Why monday.com?

Kendra was first introduced to monday.com in an acquired business unit and quickly saw its value. When she transitioned to corporate IT, she pushed for wider adoption:

“I went to my boss and said, ‘I need monday.com.’ I showed the pros and cons, and we got the yes.”Kendra Seier

Centralizing projects and accountability

With monday.com, Valmont can now manage multiple long-term projects in one place, assigning clear ownership and ensuring leadership has real-time visibility.

“Being able to keep all projects organized and report to leadership has been a life-changer.” Kendra Seier

Partnering with thespelas and their team to unify instances

When Valmont acquired a company already using monday.com, the challenge was consolidation. Partner thespelas.com, recommended by monday.com, guided the migration of hundreds of boards into one enterprise instance.

This eliminated duplicate seats, simplified access, and allowed teams to collaborate under a single umbrella.

“thespelas and their team made the migration seamless. Bringing two instances under one platform made collaboration and communication so much easier.”
