Copeval, SA
Chile
Copeval’s San Fernando business is located in the center of Chile and the surrounding area yields wheat, forage crops, rice, legumes, and grapes.
In business for 54 years, Copeval deals directly with Chilean growers, providing crop protection products as well as seed and fertilizer — bagged, fluid and anhydrous ammonia. They also serve growers with soil sampling and consulting services.
“As a part of the commercial agriculture system in Chile, a key component of our business is respect for the environment,” says Miguel Frey Amengal, Copeval’s division manager. To show this commitment, Compania Agropecuaria Copeval became an ISO 9001 certified company in 2008 and are also certified OHSAS 18000, an international occupational health and safety management system specification.
La instalación de San Fernando tiene un sistema de alarma y está asegurada por cercas y se ha desarrollado un plan de respuesta de emergencia y se ha compartido con los servicios de emergencia locales, incluidos la policía y el personal de bomberos.
“We are doing over and above what’s required of us to show our commitment to health, safety and security,” says Amengal. “We are continually improving so that we can have a sustainable business in place for the future.”
