Ingevity and DRT have announced a global joint-development partnership involving the companies’ agrochemical businesses. This agreement will leverage Ingevity’s global technical sales and marketing network to maximize sales of DRT’s specialty agrochemical adjuvants, fruit coatings and sulfur milling products.

“This partnership will expand DRT’s reach in the fast-growing agrochemical adjuvants segment,” says Isaac J. Moussan, vice president of sales and segment head agrochemicals for DRT. “Ingevity’s strong global team in combination with DRT’s unique technologies will aid customers in finding solutions that meet the challenges the industry faces today.”

Beginning in March 2018, this supply and distribution alliance will provide Ingevity customers with global access to DRT’s innovative products. This will allow Ingevity to expand its resin product offerings for the global agrochemical markets.

“Partnering with DRT is beneficial for Ingevity as it strengthens our commitment to providing value-added products and sustainability to our customers,” says Thomas Sisson, global business manager at Ingevity. “By offering a broader portfolio of products based on natural terpene, wood and gum rosins in addition to Ingevity’s lignin and tall oil derivatives, we are able to serve our clients better.”
