In August, Incotec officially opened renewed lab facilities at its site in Holambra, Brazil. Incotec, a Croda brand, is a leading seed enhancement company with a global presence. The inauguration was conducted by Thomas Riermeier, Croda’s president of Life Sciences, in the company of Bruno Hoeltgebaum-Neto, global business director for Incotec, and Nawal Ouzren, nonexecutive director of Croda.
Co-Creation With Customers
The renewed facilities expand Incotec's research, testing and customer collaboration capabilities, providing a hub where customers can work directly with Incotec experts to develop and optimize seed enhancement solutions.
“By investing in our capabilities in Brazil, we are strengthening our ability to help customers innovate and improve seed performance. Together, these advances support a more productive and sustainable agricultural industry, aligned with Croda's purpose of Smart Science to Improve Lives,” Riermeier said.
“We reinforce our commitment to innovation, operational excellence and, above all, a strong customer-centric approach so that we can anticipate and serve the evolving demands of the industry. The renewed laboratories are designed to bring customers, literally, closer to Incotec’s technologies and expertise. They can see firsthand how seed enhancement technologies are developed, tested and applied. The facilities will also support practical workshops and hands-on customer support, helping them get the best possible performance from Incotec products,” Hoeltgebaum-Neto said.
The new labs bring together three core units: the Application Laboratory, the Seeds and Plants Laboratory, and the Biolab. Each laboratory will focus on developing high-value technologies and practical applications that respond directly to market expectations.
