Syngenta Celebrates Grand Opening of New Seeds Research and Development Innovation Center
June 29, 2023 Syngenta leaders from around the globe joined with state, local, and agricultural organization representatives for the recent grand opening of the Syngenta Seeds R&D Innovation Center in Malta, IL, a facility designed to bring farmers and researchers together to accelerate advancements in agricultural seed products and services.
The Syngenta Seeds R&D Innovation Center is an 88-acre, 100,000-square-foot facility that includes 32,000 feet for laboratories and more than 18,000 feet of seed processing space, along with research fields.
During the event, leaders noted the facility will play a critical role in supporting the Syngenta Seeds commitment to improving germplasm performance, launching stacked, next generation differentiated traits and demonstrating regenerative agriculture cropping systems that benefit farmers, consumers, and our planet. Germplasm developed at the facility will benefit farmers around the world, and the company’s commitment to sustainability is being demonstrated by a regenerative ag plot demonstration at the site.
“At Syngenta Seeds, we continue strengthening our R&D engine by orchestrating every process for speed, precision and power,” says Warren Kruger, Syngenta head of Field Crops Seeds Development for North America. “Here, we will get real-time farmer feedback so that Syngenta researchers are developing the innovations and solutions they need, today and for the future.”
The Syngenta Seeds R&D Innovation Center in Malta joins a network of 150 Syngenta Seeds R&D production sites worldwide.
The DeKalb County location, about one hour west of the Syngenta Seeds global and North America headquarters in Downers Grove, IL, also will facilitate collaborations with the broader agriculture industry and supplement the work of more than 5,000 Syngenta R&D employees around the world.
