Bushel Plus Announces Transition to BranValt
Bushel Plus Ltd., a global provider of harvest optimization technologies, has announced that it will rebrand as BranValt, with the official name change scheduled for July 2026. The transition reflects the company’s evolution from a single-product innovator into a global business offering integrated solutions designed to help farmers reduce harvest losses and improve operational efficiency.
“Our business has grown well beyond where we started,” said Marcel Kringe, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “What started as a basement hobby is now trusted in 45 different countries worldwide. BranValt reflects who we are today and where we’re headed as we continue innovating solutions that help farmers protect their harvest and profitability.”
Expanding Beyond Harvest Loss Measurement
Originally known for its work in harvest loss measurement, Bushel Plus has expanded its portfolio to include multiple hardware, software, and training solutions used by farmers and agricultural equipment professionals worldwide. Under the BranValt name, the company will continue to offer its existing products, including the SmartPan® System, MAD Concaves™, MiniCombine™, and the Harvest Academy™, a global education and training program focused on optimizing harvest performance.
According to the company, consolidating these offerings under a single global brand is intended to simplify how farmers identify and access tools designed to improve harvest outcomes.
Continuity of Products, Team, and Farmer Focus
The rebrand will not affect the company’s operations, leadership, or customer relationships. The same management team and staff will continue to support customers, dealers, and partners during and after the transition.
“Our commitment to quality experiences, technical excellence, continuous innovation, and farmer success remains stronger than ever,” Kringe said. “The same experienced team will continue to stand behind the products and partnerships that farmers rely on.”
Meaning Behind the BranValt Name
The new name reflects both the company’s origins and its long-term vision. “Bran” references Brandon, Manitoba, where the company was founded and continues to operate, while also symbolizing the protective outer layer of grain. “Valt,” inspired by the word vault, represents safeguarding crop value at harvest.
Bushel Plus will begin introducing the BranValt name across selected products, packaging, communications, and industry events in early 2026, with the full transition completed by July. The company stated that the rebrand is intended to support continued global expansion while maintaining a clear focus on protecting farmers’ harvests.
