快速发展的中国医药和农用化学品制造商华邦营养科技有限公司表示，它将收购私有的非专利作物保护巨头 Albaugh 的少数股权。
Huapont, through Nutrichem USA, will acquire 20% of the voting and non-voting units of Albaugh for $220 million cash. The acquisition is expected to close before year-end, and is subject to approval of Huapont’s shareholders, approval of the China National Development and Reform Commission and U.S. regulatory authorities.
Dennis Albaugh, founder and chairman of the Ankeny, Iowa based company, said, “This transaction establishes a strategic relationship between Albaugh and one of its key suppliers of active ingredients, and we hope to utilize our combined experience in product development and registration to continue growing our business for the benefit of our customers and the shareholders of both companies.
Zhang Songshan, Huapont chairman, said in a statement, “Albaugh is a strong competitor in the agrochemical markets in the Western hemisphere. We are excited about the ongoing prospects for growth in Albaugh and to be a part of that growth into the future.”
Huapont-Nutrichem’s stock is traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Albaugh 表示，它是全球最大的非专利除草剂、杀菌剂、杀虫剂和植物生长调节剂的私营生产商，主要面向美洲，但也面向国际市场。它在草甘膦、2,4-D、阿特拉津和麦草畏这四种最广泛使用的专利后农化产品中处于领先地位。
