Ecully, France (Nov. 9, 2017) – One year after acquiring Bayer Garden and Bayer Advanced's consumer businesses, SBM Company has completed another step in its expansion plans by completing the transaction to acquire Bayer’s Pasadena, Texas production operations.
The Pasadena site's activities focus on formulation, filling and packaging of consumer use lawn and garden products. The site hosts multiple liquid and dust filling production lines.
“We see this as a vital step in our global expansion strategy that further solidifies our newly established footprint in North America,” says Alexandre Simmler, Global CEO of SBM Life Science, the Home & Garden Division of the group.
“We look forward to working with the team in Pasadena to leverage this asset to further meet the growing demands of our customers,” says Jim Van Handel, President of SBM Life Science, N.A. “This is another key step in our continually growing commercial foundation in the North American market.”
