Gowan Crop Protection acquired Agrotechnology S.A. in Chile

Gowan Crop Protection Limited (GCP), an affiliate of Gowan Company, L.L.C., recently announced the completion of its acquisition of Agrotechnology S.A. in Chile. The now wholly-owned subsidiary of GCP will be named Gowan Chile SpA.

In March 2011, Gowan purchased a majority interest in Agrotechnology (AGT), partnering with PEERCO. Originally, AGT specialized in the biological business however over time AGT has complemented its portfolio with Gowan’s proprietary and exclusive licensed products.

Sergio Comparini, Gowan South America Regional Manager, said, “Gowan Chile is prepared to join a sophisticated market devoted to the export of fresh fruit crops and wine. Our unique portfolio, combined with our highly professional team, are assets that will allow us to provide value to growers in Chile.” Daniel Rowlands, Gowan Chile General Manager, added, “Our goal is to build up and add new products to offer real and sound solutions to Chilean agriculture.”
