Muttenz, Switzerland – Clariant, a manufacturer of adjuvants and other specialty chemicals, said this week it is repositioning its crop protection business to expand new products and services, and will boost R&D investments.
这家瑞士公司表示已聘请 Peter Baur 领导其位于法兰克福的作物保护能力中心。 Baur 之前领导拜耳作物科学的生物利用度优化小组，他的工作重点是更有效地将物质输送到叶子中。
“Clariant already offers well performing ‘green’ products including adjuvants, solvents and dispersing agents, and we are looking to expand this aspect of our portfolio,” Baur said in a statement. “We will build up a unique portfolio of guide formulations and profiling services geared to enhancing the efficiency of our customers, products, reduce their water and energy consumption, and help them comply with regulatory requirements in their markets,” he added.
Clariant Crop Protection 表示将加强其运营团队，并提供适合区域要求的产品分析和监管指导。它在法兰克福的能力中心将支持其地区团队。
“We regard expanded formulation support as being very important,” Baur said. “Active ingredients from the last decades often have properties that challenge the formulator to develop a stable formulation without freezing activity. It`s all about balancing robust activity and stability with user-friendliness of the product.”
该公司表示，在法兰克福开设新的创新中心时，将增加研发投资。
它的目标是在 2012 年年中之前提供额外的服务。
Clariant’s customers include top producers of finished crop protection formulations, as well as many smaller suppliers, including manufacturers of generic agrochemicals.
