PIC has been built on more than 57 years of “Never Stop Improving”

PIC which stands for ‘Pig Improvement Company,’ was founded in 1962 by five English Farmers in Oxfordshire, England.

In the mid-50s, these five farmers under leadership of Ken Woolley had formed a study group that came together in a pub in Wallingford and later in the White Hart in Nettlebed. They discussed how pig breeding in the UK lagged breeding practices elsewhere in Europe. They believed they apply science to pig breeding to make a better pig. This study group led to the foundation of PIC. Phil David, PIC’s leader in the 90s and early 2000s, summarizes the vision of the founders very well: “With a clear customer focus, one of the company’s strengths is in balancing scientific pursuit with the commercial realities of the world of business.”

Today, PIC and its employees are still realizing the founders’ dream. By applying the latest available science to pig breeding, PIC strives to provide pig producers with superior pigs that cost less to produce and provide higher quality pork.

_“ Throughout the years, PIC’s resources, our relationship with them and their guidance they’ve given us, aside from just the product potential, has been key in developing us from a very small producer to one of the largest 20 in the United States. _”
