BIOMIN has just opened its new global headquarters in Getzersdorf, Austria and a 3,100+ tonne production facility in Panama to meet growing demand in the Western hemisphere.
BIOMIN has continued to see double-digit sales growth supported by geographic expansion and successes with products such as its fifth generation of Mycofix® for mycotoxin deactivation.
The new plant in Panama, which produces Mycofix®, will allow for growth and quicker delivery to BIOMIN distributors and customers in new and existing markets throughout the Americas.
The site was planned with a long-term perspective and an expectation of growth in mind. It has an installed production capacity of 3,120 tons per year based on one packaging station and a single shift. Its starting production goal is 6,240 tons per year with two shifts. Maximum production capacity can reach 12,480 tons per year with the addition of a second packaging station.
On August 20, 2015 Christian Seiwald, Chairman of Erber AG, and Esteban Giron, Vice Minister of Agricultural Development joined in the cutting of the ribbon inaugurating the plant in Panama alongside BIOMIN Managing Director, Marcelo Ribeiro, marking a momentous occasion for the company and the region.
“A strong, longstanding commitment to scientific research has allowed BIOMIN to deliver leading products in an ever-increasing number of markets across the globe,” commented Mr. Seiwald.
