AgroPlantae, Inc. to acquire Kemin Industries' portfolio of crop technologies products

AgroPlantae, which serves the plant nutrition specialties industry with innovative, sustainable solutions to help crops overcome biotic and abiotic challenges and to restore soil and plant vitality to ensure high crop yields, has acquired the product portfolio of Kemin Crop Technologies, which provides growers with premium botanical-based biopesticides, plant nutrition, and soil health solutions designed for specialty crops, greenhouse production, and real-world agronomic challenges.

AgroPlantae's president and chief executive officer, Angelo Paolucci, founded the company in 2009 to address the real struggles of farmers worldwide who were facing poor soil and climate conditions. Since its founding 17 years ago, AgroPlantae has demonstrated its commitment to research and innovation and established itself as a partner to growers, working with them to anticipate and overcome the plant growth stressors impacting their crops' genetic potential.

"Kemin's crop technologies products that harness the power of plants and the company's long history of science-backed innovations to protect the health and safety of the global food supply chain are an ideal addition to the AgroPlantae line of products," said Paolucci. "At AgroPlantae, we operate on the idea of 'nature with the intelligence of science,' and Kemin Crop Technologies' variety of high-quality solutions rooted in research align perfectly with our efforts to address plant problems from the soil to harvest."

AgroPlantae will absorb the complete suite of Kemin Crop Technologies products—TetraCURB™ MAX, AlliCURB™ MAX, PathoCURB™, RevoCURB™, Romivex™ DIP, OmniCURB™, Valena™, and Valena™ FLOW—as part of the transaction. To ensure continuity and maintain the highest level of support for customers, Kemin Crop Technologies' sales managers will also become part of AgroPlantae while remaining in their current territories in service to current customers.

"AgroPlantae shares our passion to create a better world for future generations by taking care of our planet now, and we are confident the AgroPlantae team will continue to nurture and strengthen our science-back solutions that use biological crop protection and novel-plant growth technologies to target the needs of growers in a sustainable way," said Dr. Chris Nelson, president and CEO, Kemin Industries.

AgroPlantae and Kemin will work closely to ensure continuity of customer support and supply during the transition.

In addition to Kemin Crop Technologies' sales managers moving to AgroPlantae, all of Kemin Crop Technologies' product formulations, specifications, manufacturing processes, and quality standards will remain the same, and regulatory approvals will continue without interruption.
