Synsus acquires Emerald Bioagriculture to expand biostimulants business

Synsus Private Label Partners has acquired Emerald Bioagriculture, a U.S.-based developer of biostimulant products, as it moves to expand its position in the fast-growing market for biological crop inputs. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The Houston-based company will incorporate Emerald’s product portfolio into its formulation and manufacturing platform, adding to its existing capabilities in contract development and private-label production for agricultural and consumer lawn and garden markets.

Synsus said integration efforts will focus on maintaining supply continuity and aligning product lines, while coordinating research and development activities. The company expects Emerald’s technologies to be deployed across a broader customer base through its existing commercial network.

Synsus provides formulation, manufacturing and packaging services to distributors and product companies, while Emerald develops bio-nutrient products designed to improve nutrient uptake and plant performance.

The integration will proceed over the coming months as companies’ operations and product portfolios are consolidated.
