Becker Microbial Products acquired by founders of Proventus Bioscience

Becker Microbial Products (BMP) has recently been acquired by Vincent DeLorenzo and Peter Bozel, the founders of Proventus Bioscience.

BMP began investing in biotechnology in 1985 and has since expanded globally with distributors in Australia, France, India, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Turkey.

Best known for combating mosquitoes, blackflies, and other pests in agriculture and forestry, BMP's formulations are produced from two strains of Bacillus thuringiensis to create award-winning pesticides.

BMP's biopesticides have made major strides in controlling both the Zika virus and the West Nile virus. They have gained global recognition in the marketplace for their effectiveness.

BMP will continue its operations in Parkland, Florida as the acquisition blends into the current business platform.

"We're happy to be carrying the legacy [of BMP] forward," said Mr. DeLorenzo.
