Arysta LifeScience and Laboratoires Goëmar Sign Distribution Agreement
December 31, 2012 Arysta LifeScience Corporation and Laboratoires Goëmar have reached an agreement to develop and distribute biostimulants and biocontrol products.
Arysta LifeScience acquires exclusive rights related to Physio Activator Technology and Natural Protect Technology products to operate in Central Europe and Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and Kazakhstan.
Laboratoires Goëmar acquires exclusivity to develop and distribute Atonik in France, and access to Arysta LifeScience Biostimulant and Biocontrol products in France plus other countries in Western Europe.
“This mutual agreement is the result of a long, fruitful relationship between our companies,” said Kevin Smith, CEO of Arysta LifeScience SAS and business unit head of Europe for Arysta LifeScience. “It strengthens the presence of Arysta LifeScience in this market segment with access to modern technologies. Customers may expect ‘tailor-made’ technologies delivering benefits to various crops.”
“These contracts, combining technologies and market presence strengths of both companies, should facilitate broader farmer access to innovative sustainable solutions for their crops, accelerate Goëmar sales growth in Central and Eastern Europe, and offer Goëmar sales force and customers a broader portfolio of solutions,” said Jean-Pierre Princen, CEO Laboratoires Goëmar.
Physio Activator Technology is based on seaweed filtrates and activates main mechanisms put in place by the plant to absorb elements from the soil and activates flowering hormones essential throughout fruit setting and early development of the fruit.
Natural Protect Technology (trade name Vacciplant) contains laminarin, which stimulates natural plant defense mechanisms. In 2005, Laminarin was registered based on plant protection regulation as Crop Protection Products in EU (Annex I, Directive 11/07/2009/EC). After various registrations obtained in Western and Southern Europe and in the U.S., registration in Poland is expected in 2013 with full commercialization by 2014 initially on apples, pears, strawberries, and tomatoes.
Atonik is a plant biostimulant based on synthetic nitrophenols. The active ingredients of Atonik were registered in February 2009 as crop protection products in the EU (Annex I, Directive 11/07/2009/EC). Since 2009, intensive work on post-inclusion maintenance has been in progress in many countries. Expected registration in France is scheduled by 2014 and commercialization by 2015 initially on arable crops.
The Arysta LifeScience Biostimulant System contains three biostimulants: Biozyme for generative development; Foltron for vegetative growth; and Pilatus for root system establishment.
Since 2000, Goëmar and Nichimen Corporation, the predecessor of Arysta LifeScience, have worked together to develop successful sales of products especially in Poland and other Central European countries.
