Advanta US moves to new headquarters in Amarillo

Advanta US, a supplier of proprietary agricultural crop genetics and seed, has announced that the company has moved its corporate headquarters from Hereford to downtown Amarillo.

The new address for Advanta US is 301 S. Polk St., Suite 350, Amarillo, TX 79101. The office has a new local phone number of (806) 350-7552, but customers can still call the pre-existing toll-free number of (800) 333-9048.

"Our new office in Amarillo provides us with a more accessible location and room to expand as we grow our business,” said Steve Ligon, NAFTA business director for Advanta US.

Although Advanta US is moving its administrative team to Amarillo, its seed-breeding, production and processing facilities will remain in Hereford. In 2011, Advanta US completed a multimillion-dollar upgrade to the facilities, including new processing equipment, improvements to its quality control lab and expanded storage capacity.

Advanta US is an operating unit of Advanta, a global seed business that combines advanced techniques in conventional plant breeding with biotechnology to deliver high-performance agricultural seeds.
