Hello from the new Nufarm headquarters for North America in Alsip, IL. This beautiful logo mosaic greets you at the door. It is the work of the mother of Tom Lyons, Exec. VP, Operations.

I’m here today with other ag media to learn more about Nufarm and tour this facility that includes a production plant as well as offices for management, including their Nuseed division. I’ll be doing some interviews before heading home to ZimmComm World Headquarters later today and will share as soon as I can.

We’re putting the finishing touches on a new North American headquarters and fungicide, insecticide and growth regulator formulation plant in Alsip, Illinois and expect to be up and running in late February. With state-of-the-art technology, a central location and the speed and agility we’re known for, we’ll be able to meet more needs faster and better than ever before.

The Alsip location is just 15 miles from our herbicide formulation plant in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Between the two plants, we will formulate over 90% of the products we sell in the US right here in the Heartland. So you can be assured of made in the USA quality along with local service and support.
