Sipcam Agro and Sumitomo Corporation's New Partnership

In a significant move for the agricultural sector, Sipcam Agro announced a commercial agreement that solidifies its position in the North American market. Partnering with Sumitomo Corporation, Sipcam Agro will now hold the exclusive rights to market and distribute the well-known Sencor® 75 DF and Sencor® 480 F herbicides across Canada. This agreement comes as part of an expansive strategy to enhance crop protection solutions offered to Canadian growers and is expected to bolster the company's portfolio significantly.

Strengthening Agricultural Solutions

The transition occurs after Sumitomo Corporation acquired Sencor from Bayer, establishing a strong alignment to further penetrate the crop protection market in Canada. With Sencor's longstanding reputation for effective weed management in a range of crops — including potatoes, soybeans, and pulse crops — Sipcam Agro is poised to harness the power of these products to meet the evolving needs of Canadian agriculture.

This agreement not only reflects Sipcam’s commitment to delivering high-quality solutions but also addresses the increasing demand for effective crop protection. Howie Zander, National Account Manager with Sipcam Agro, expressed his enthusiasm: "We're excited to bring these well-established Sencor® brands into the Canadian portfolio. Canadian growers rely on Sencor for proven broad-spectrum performance, and as a Group 5 mode of action, Sencor is a very important tool to help growers manage weed resistance."

Ongoing Commitment to Canadian Growers

As part of the agreement, Sipcam will handle all marketing, sales, and distribution activities for the Sencor® products in Canada after a brief transition period. Importantly, the product labels, formulations, and regulatory compliance will remain unchanged, ensuring that retailers and growers experience smooth access to these essential herbicides.

Sipcam Agro is deeply invested in expanding its Canadian product lineup to include a diverse range of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and biostimulants. This strategic investment aims to support sustainable agricultural practices and profitable production in key cropping systems across Canada.

With its headquarters located in Durham, North Carolina, Sipcam Agro USA Inc. is part of the privately-owned Sipcam-Oxon Group, a company with nearly eight decades of expertise in chemical formulation and manufacturing. The company has made significant strides in the North American market and has a clear focus on being a reliable, competitively priced supplier for crop protection products.
