Posted by |5 October 2011

Koch Agronomic Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Koch Fertilizer, LLC, has completed an asset acquisition of AGROTAIN International, LLC’s AGROTAIN, according to a press release.

“We’re excited to integrate the portfolio of AGROTAIN stabilizer products into Koch Agronomic Services,” said Steve Packebush, president of Koch Fertilizer in a statement. “The marketplace will benefit from the synergies that exist between Koch Agronomic Services and the AGROTAIN International businesses, as well as the global footprint of Koch Fertilizer.”

The AGROTAIN stabilizer product line includes AGROTAIN, AGROTAIN PLUS, AGROTAIN DRY, SUPER U, UMAXX and UFLEXXTM stabilizers. . These products help make nitrogen, one of the most important inputs to yield success, more efficient thus reducing nitrogen loss so nitrogen remains available for the crop, according to the release.

“This acquisition offers Koch Agronomic Services an industry-leading portfolio of brands and products that are supported by the scientific community and embraced by growers,” said Packebush in a statement. “By combining the brands, operations and personnel of AGROTAIN International with our existing business, we will offer the market a comprehensive portfolio of value-added products with the expertise to support that portfolio.”

The growth of Koch Agronomic Services and its vision is supported by Koch Fertilizer’s global presence, which includes sales offices and terminals in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Australia, China, and Singapore.
