Acrom Agroindustrial Ltda (formerly Tundra Agroindustrial) is a small local producer, the majority shareholder being Beta Chemicals Ltd (China) and the minority shareholder is Thomas A. Unger. The company has a factory in Londrina in the north of the state of Parana, and specializes in patented higher efficacy products which have nothing similar in the market, and require the application of a lower dosage on the field. Acrom does both direct sales to resellers and farmers, as well as tolling services for select partners who stand to gain from the originality of the company’s products. The company has several high efficacy products in the pipeline and is open to partnerships for development and commercialization of its products.
Acrom is a relatively new company in the market. We have been operating since the beginning of 2018 and we started our business manufacturing a formulation of glyphosate by the brand name Gliforte (www.gliforte.com.br) with our proprietary FX technology. Gliforte is registered in the US, Brazil and Argentina and also patented in three countries in addition to Australia, Paraguay and Uruguay, focusing on the major soybean markets. Acrom also has new product developments with the same technology, focusing on herbicides. We have reached significant volumes in Brazil and are initiating negotiations with companies in the US and Argentina.
