PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Agrinos, a
leading biological crop input provider committed to improving the
productivity and sustainability of agriculture worldwide,
celebrated the grand opening of its new, state-of-the-art microbial
production facility in Clackamas,
Oregon, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and public tour
Tuesday, Sept. 13.
The Agrinos board of directors, which includes members from
Belgium, England, France, Germany, Norway and the U.S., joined the company's
executive leadership team and Agrinos employees to welcome local
officials and guests in celebration of the grand opening.
"The addition of a second production facility is a significant
milestone for Agrinos that truly reflects the commitment of our
shareholders to the long-term development and deployment of Agrinos
technologies, as well as the demand created by the value that
growers are capturing from the use of our microbial products," said
D. Ry Wagner, CEO of Agrinos. "It's
also a reflection of the rapid adoption of biological products not
only for use with specialty crops—such as fruit, vegetable and tree
crops—but also for use with commodity crops worldwide, including
significant market growth here in the U.S."
The 28,000 square-foot facility near Portland will accommodate increased production
capacity for the Agrinos line of proprietary High Yield Technology
(HYT®) microbial products. When applied to specialty and
commodity crops these products help growers practice profitable
agriculture by increasing crop productivity, improving crop quality
and enhancing fertilizer efficiency while naturally replenishing
soil health and productivity.
"We're very pleased to locate our new facility in the
Greater Portland area, which
allows us to seamlessly integrate with new product development and
research operations at Agrinos' Global Biological Innovation Center
in Davis, California, and our
production facility in Sonora,
Mexico," added Wagner.
The new Agrinos production facility includes a quality control
and quality assurance lab, where extensive testing will be
conducted on raw materials and products at various stages of
production to ensure Agrinos' exacting standards of quality are met
before packaging and shipment.
Agrinos microbial crop inputs contain natural soil-borne
microorganisms which have been proven to strengthen the soil and
deliver highly bioavailable nutrients to help plants prosper and
increase productivity. The use of microbial or biological inputs
for agricultural crop production has increased significantly in
recent years as more growers are experiencing the benefits from a
plant health, crop quality and sustainability standpoint.
Agrinos products are currently sold in the U.S., Brazil, India, China,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico and Spain. They are marketed under brand names
that include HYT A, HYT B, HYT C, iNvigorate®, B
Sure® and Agrinos 5-0-0 among many others.
