VICTOR, N.Y. -- AEF Global, Inc. based out of Levis, Quebec and BioWorks, Inc. of Victor, N.Y., both manufacturers of biopesticides have established a distribution agreement for North America.
This agreement will allow AEF Global to distribute in Canada on a non-exclusive basis, RootShield WP, RootShield HC, and MilStop and exclusively SuffOil-X. As well, AEF Global will market in Canada these active ingredients under private labels such as Sirocco. BioWorks will distribute in the U.S and Mexico under private labels, Bioprotec CAF, Influence WP, and a non selective herbicide. BioWorks will also distribute Cyclone, Tivano, Buran, Influence LC, and Kona, a selective herbicide.
"This opportunity is a chance to introduce Canadian registered products in new markets and explore further outlets for label uses," said Yannick Bidon, president and CEO of AEF Global. AEF has over 22 registrations in Canada. More Canadian registrations are on the way but it's time for the current ones to travel further and working with BioWorks will allow just that. We have great active ingredients, made in Canada, and we believe there is a big need for them elsewhere."
"We are delighted to be partnering with AEF Global," said Bill Foster, president and CEO of BioWorks. "With the partnership, we are bringing AEF Global leadership in Canada together with BioWorks leadership in the U.S. and Mexico. Their focus on ecological products fits naturally with our plant nutrition and biological pest and disease control products. Combining the AEF Global products to our portfolio strengthens our ability to meet customer needs."
AEF Global, established for more than 15 years in Canada, markets biopesticides and other integrated pest management tools for plant protection. Its field of action covers the sectors of agriculture, forestry and ornamental horticulture as well the environment. This agreement represents a great opportunity for AEF to leap borders and penetrate new markets on the continent.
