NC, UNITED STATES, April 7, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Envu, a global environmental sciences company delivering forward-thinking innovations to protect and improve the health of our environment around the world, announced it has signed an

agreement with Syngenta, a global leader in agricultural innovation, to acquire several Actellic® products for global use in the stored grain segment. The products complement Envu’s existing portfolio, providing growers with a fully integrated solution for broader coverage against stored grain insects.

Actellic insecticides are a common tool for protecting food warehouses, offering broad-spectrum control both in and around grain storage bins. The acquisition includes several products, which are currently available in different parts of the world, primarily the following: – Actellic® 50EC and ActellicPro® 500EC

Insecticides : These liquid formulations are available in LatAm and EMEA regions. Both products provide long-lasting and effective control against a variety of stored grain insect pests. – Actellic® Smoke Generator No. 20: This formulation is available in the EMEA region through a third-party partner. It provides long-lasting and effective control against the invasion of a variety of insect pests in stored grain environments. – Actellic® Gold Dusting Power: This powder formulation is available in Africa. It facilitates the control of a wide range of stored grain insects thanks to the synergistic effect of two active ingredients. “With this product acquisition, we will provide customers with an integrated solution to control damaging pests that threaten their livelihoods and our global food supply,” said Tiffany Fremder, Chief Marketing Officer at Envu. “We also look forward to expanding our stored grain offering to more countries in Latin America and Africa through this agreement.” “At Envu, we are excited to continue our growth journey with this strategic product acquisition,” said Envu CEO Gilles Galliou. "Preventing food loss and waste is not only a key sustainability commitment, but also one of the many ways we drive our purpose at Envu while helping our customers improve food safety." Importance of Food Safety


Approximately 14% of the world's food is lost after harvest, resulting in an estimated $400 billion in losses annually. In 2023, Envu products helped protect 63 million tons of grain worldwide. Successful grain storage requires a combination of measures, including proper sanitation, the right chemical protectant, appropriate aeration and other environmental controls, and careful oversight.

"We understand the sensitive nature of food-related applications and are committed to sustainable practices," Galliou added. "We work closely with our customers to manage our solutions well and ensure the proper use of these essential tools. This product acquisition will allow us to offer a comprehensive solution for grain producers and traders to employ a rotation strategy and effectively manage pest resistance to support their important mission."

The acquisition pertains to product assets only; it does not include employee or facility assets. The agreement with Syngenta is expected to close sometime in the second half of 2025, subject to regulatory and other customary approvals.
