Nufarm Restructures North American Manufacturing Footprint

In an effort to be more response, flexible and cost effective, Nufarm Limited announced a restructuring of its North American manufacturing footprint. Changes include the closing of manufacturing operations in Calgary, Canada.

The current Canadian distribution locations that serve customers directly will remain, with increased capacity to ensure customers will be serviced with the same or better response times. All sales, marketing, and customer-facing operations in Canada remain, further emphasising the company’s commitment to meeting customer needs, the company said.

“The decision to close the Calgary manufacturing facility is part of the company’s commitment to improve the performance of its operations,” said Nufarm’s Group Executive Operations, Elbert Prado. “As with the manufacturing changes we are making in some of our other regions, this decision will allow us to increase flexibility, reduce complexity, and more efficiently utilize our facilities. “We have invested to improve capacity of the overall North American manufacturing base, with a new state of the art seed treatment operation and full retooling of the herbicide facility in Chicago. These new facilities will provide greater capacity and support to ensure that we can respond quickly to the needs of our Canadian customers. This proved a more efficient approach than expansion of the Calgary site.”
