Sumitomo Chemical to Establish R&D Base in Brazil
26 August 2015 Sumitomo Chemical announced it will place its “Latin America Research Center” in Brazil where scientists will conduct efficacy trials, research and development, and analyses of crop protection products and other related products.
The Latin America Research Center, which will be operated by Sumitomo Chemical Brazil, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and is expected to accelerate development of products most befitting to the local conditions and requirements. According to the company, setting up the new research and development arm in the Southern Hemisphere makes it possible to carry out field trials more efficiently by selecting a region with the most suitable climatic conditions, given that the company’s existing R&D facilities are all located in the Northern Hemisphere where seasons are opposite to those of the Southern Hemisphere.
