Syngenta Canada to split seed and crop protection businesses

Date:05-31-2021

Syngenta Canada Inc. has decided to create Seed and Crop Protection business units, effective June 1, 2021. Syngenta Canada Inc. will remain as one legal entity, operating as a Canadian team.

“As a customer-focused organization, we regularly review our operations to ensure we are positioned for growth and evolving to meet the needs of the customer and industry. With this in mind, we have decided to adjust our structure and create Seed and Crop Protection business units within Syngenta Canada Inc.,” says Trevor Heck, president, Syngenta Canada.

This change, which allows customer-facing staff to be specialists in either seed or crop protection, is an expansion to the business and is an indication of the Syngenta Canada commitment to the best customer experience.

“We are expanding our Seed Sales and Marketing teams to support this decision, which speaks to our unwavering commitment to deepen our customer relationship and offering. Our intention is to have a smooth transition for our customers as we close out the 2021 growing season while getting ready for the 2022 growing season,” says Dan Wright, head of seeds, Syngenta Canada.

As a result of this decision, Dan Wright, will continue as Head of Seeds for Canada.  The Canadian Crop Protection business will be led by Trevor Heck, who will also continue as President for Syngenta Canada and lead the Canadian Territory Leadership team.
