Everris Americas acquires manufacturing equipment

Everris Americas, an ICL Specialty Fertilizers company, acquired the manufacturing equipment of X-Calibur Plant Health Co., located in Summerville, S.C. The purchase includes a fertilizer coating line and associated handling, processing and packaging equipment.  The equipment provides Everris with additional manufacturing capabilities to bring its new products to the market faster, including an innovative controlled-release fertilizer technology currently under development by Everris’ Global R&D Center in the Netherlands.
 
The equipment will enable Everris to introduce a new proprietary product that complements its Osmocote and Poly-S controlled release technologies early next year.  Everris’ expanded product line of coated components and fertilizers will provide its customers in the ornamental horticulture, turf and specialty agriculture markets with an even broader range of solutions to meet their plant and crop nutritional needs.  All products will be available through Everris’ distribution channels and sold by its Americas sales force. Several of the new products will also be marketed by Everris’ global sales network.
