Sumitomo Chemical Restructures Crop Protection Business Unit
15 February 2011 Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. has restructured a business unit focused on providing crop protection solutions in the Latin American agricultural markets, according to the company.
The new business unit, Sumitomo Chemical Latin America (SCLA) will focus on providing Latin American growers with leading crop management products and active ingredients developed, manufactured and marketed by the new SCLA organization.
The new business unit will be headquarter out of Sao Paulo, Brazil, with employees located in all of the key Latin America markets, according to Sumitomo.
“For years, we have been very successful in helping this region’s growers protect their investments and maximize crop potential through our products and active ingredients—including our growing number of traditional chemical and biorational product options,” said Mike Donaldson, president and chief executive officer for Valent U.S.A., Valent BioSciences Corporation and Region Americas, in a prepared statement. “By increasing our presence and resources in Latin America, we will have even closer access to customers in order to improve our service and better understand and anticipate their unique crop needs.”
Donaldson will oversee the new SCLA organization.
