AMGUARD™, NewLeaf Symbiotics® Partner to Bring Biological Solutions to North American Specialty Markets

AMGUARD becomes exclusive seller of NewLeaf Symbiotics bio-stimulant and bio-protection products; partnership expansion now covers both crop and specialty / non-crop applications

AMGUARD™ Environmental Technologies (“AMGUARD”), the specialty markets division of AMVAC Chemical Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Vanguard Corporation (“AVD”), is pleased to announce it has entered into a supply agreement with NewLeaf Symbiotics® to bring biological solutions to major North American specialty markets.

Under the agreement, AMGUARD becomes the exclusive seller of NewLeaf products including bio-stimulants and bio-protection products in golf, ornamental, controlled-environment agriculture (CEA), cannabis, and consumer markets in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Together these production areas are estimated to comprise slightly more than 50 million treatable acres in North America.

The agreement broadens a partnership established in October 2022 between NewLeaf and AMVAC®, an American Vanguard Company, to bring biological solutions to North American agricultural crop markets including recently launched BioWake™ dual-use biological seed lubricant for corn and soybeans. This partnership significantly enhances AVD’s strategic growth initiative in GreenSolutions™.

Shayne M. Wetherall, CEO, AMGUARD Environmental Technologies, commented: “NewLeaf Symbiotics technology and current product offering of naturally occurring microbes strengthen AMGUARD‘s specialty markets portfolio. As we leverage our extensive market access and sales force expertise, we look forward to working closely with the NewLeaf team to bring their novel biological solutions to the North American specialty markets.”

Brent Smith, President of NewLeaf Symbiotics, said: “NewLeaf Symbiotics, as a major player in biologicals, is eager to broaden our North American market penetration through our partnership with AMGUARD. We bring to this partnership our proprietary microbial library, proven research and development capabilities, and current commercial products that deliver a range of measurable benefits. Longer term, we look forward to finding additional synergies among the technologies and product lines of both our companies.”
