Sipcam Agro USA expands into Canada and adds new national account manager

Sipcam Agro USA expanded into the Canadian agricultural market, bringing North American formulation capabilities and years of crop and turf protection product experience.

The company also selected Howie Zander as Sipcam Agro’s new national account manager in Canada. Zander lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and brings his proven 33-year history of building and growing business opportunities through customer focus and strategic planning. Zander has developed an extensive knowledge of Canadian agriculture and was most recently with BASF for over 20 years, mainly as the director of sales and accounts. He also held numerous positions with both Aventis and Rhone Poulenc.

“This is a great opportunity to be on the ground floor of Sipcam Agro’s venture into Canada,” said Zander. “Sipcam Agro is back integrated with group partners in numerous active Ingredients (AI’s) globally, with synthesis and formulation plants in several countries and offers a quality portfolio that can bring value to Canadian customers.”

Sipcam Agro recently acquired the assets of Mississippi-based Odom Industries including a plant with formulation, packaging and warehousing.
