ROSWELL, Ga. — The Research Triangle Region of North Carolina is the new home of Sipcam Agro USA and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Advan and Sostram Corporation. The new corporate headquarters officially opens on Jan. 5, 2009.

The relocation coincides with the company’s plans based on new technologies as well as traditional plant protection chemistries.

Owned by the Sipcam/Oxon Group, an Italian company, Sipcam Agro USA provides fungicides, herbicides and insecticides to the agricultural marketplace. Advan, which became a wholly owned Sipcam Agro subsidiary on Sept. 1, 2008, serves the professional turf, ornamental and organic agriculture markets, as well as the home and garden industry in both the U.S. and Mexico. Sostram Corporation markets a line of environmental care products targeting termites, insects, decay, mold and odor control to the professional pest management industry.
