拜耳作物科学收购杜邦土地管理业务的某些资产

拜耳作物科学和杜邦宣布签署协议，拜耳将购买杜邦在美国、加拿大、墨西哥、澳大利亚和新西兰的某些土地与植被管理资产。

该交易预计将于 2014 年第四季度完成，具体取决于惯例监管部门的批准。此次收购将使拜耳的环境科学业务部门能够为工业植被管理 (IVM) 的有效杂草控制提供全面的产品组合。此外，该公司还将获得北美不断增长的林业和牧场业务部门的准入权。根据协议，杜邦将继续在美国、加拿大、墨西哥、澳大利亚和新西兰以外的地区销售其土地管理产品，并在墨西哥和拉丁美洲销售其牧场和牧场产品。

“We are a leader in the professional Environmental Science market globally and the planned acquisition underlines our ambition to further grow this position in the years to come,” said Bayer CropScience CEO Liam Condon in the company’s press release. “It allows us to provide our customers with first-choice solutions to protect and care for the environment in which we live, work and play. Keeping our railways, railroads and infrastructure clean and safe and forestry plantations more productive is part of our mission – Bayer: Science for A Better Life.”

杜邦作物保护总裁 Rik Miller 补充说：“该协议是执行我们杜邦作物保护业务增长战略的又一步。我们继续专注于向市场提供我们的科学和创新的新产品，以推动当前和长期的盈利增长。”
