Koch adds new business

Koch Agronomic Services, a subsidiary of Koch Fertilizer, announced that it has completed an asset acquisition of AGROTAIN International, AGROTAIN.    

“We’re excited to integrate the portfolio of AGROTAIN stabilizer products into Koch Agronomic Services,” said Steve Packebush, president of Koch Fertilizer. “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.”

Koch Agronomic Services will now offer the AGROTAIN stabilizer product line, including AGROTAIN, AGROTAIN PLUS, AGROTAIN DRY, SUPER U, UMAXX and UFLEXX stabilizers.  

Customers will see little change in terms of sales support, marketing and customer service.  Koch Agronomic Services will continue offering competitive, innovative products with outstanding service.

“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. “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.”

This acquisition comes after another year of record demand for AGROTAIN stabilizer products around the world.  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. The increasing global demand for corn, wheat, rice, cotton, sugar cane and a number of other commodities make AGROTAIN stabilizer products vital tools in a grower’s fertilizer program.
