Amy O’Shea, vice president and business director, FMC North America Agricultural Solutions, welcomed approximately 25 attendees to the event, saying FMC is committed to the structural pest control industry. “We have specific development plans for this business,” she said, as evidenced by the upcoming introduction of Scion Insecticide, as well as other new technology in the company’s product pipeline. “There’s a special place in my heart for this business because this is where I got my start. Please know you’ll always have a friend at FMC.”
 
Zack Zaki, business director, FMC Global Specialty Solutions, added that as a U.S.-based “pure agchem company” with deep roots in the pest management industry, this is “an exciting time” for the company.
 
The following day, Commercial Director Dan Carrothers shared his vision for FMC’s Professional Solutions business. Through the introduction of innovative technology and world-class customer support, “our goal is to become a strategic partner for you and your customer,” he said.
