The company said it intends to invest in the new global R&D center, which will become its central hub bringing together the company’s R&D activities in Israel and worldwide. These include seven product development sites in Israel, Europe, North America and Asia. When complete, the center will employ more than 100 researchers, “who will work together to formulate innovative crop protection solutions that aim to simplify farming.”

Completion of the construction is expected in two years, and work within the new laboratories is scheduled to begin in 18 months. The center, located at the Neot Hovav eco-industrial park, will be built next to a newly constructed pilot facility that will allow the site to efficiently upscale from lab to production in MAI’s 11 production facilities.
