Tessenderlo Group today announced that its business units SOP Plant Nutrition and Kerley International will be joining forces with immediate effect in order to create one business unit: Tessenderlo Kerley International, which is part of Tessenderlo Group. This new business unit will bring together all of the experts, agronomists and commercial advisers from both previous business units into one global team that is characterized by a dedicated customer focus and which possesses an outstanding heritage. Tessenderlo Kerley International will build on the nearly 100 years of expertise at Tessenderlo and the 70 years of expertise at Kerley.

“This exciting merger of these two business units will enable us to provide the best possible levels of support and the finest products from our combined portfolio based on the specific requirements of our many customers throughout the world. We can deliver precisely what they need, where they need it and how they need it. To articulate this global market approach, all of our fertilizer product brands will also be bundled under one all-encompassing brand promise: Crop Vitality. This is because our dedication to provide farmers with the precise tools they need to stimulate the vitality of their crops is at the very heart of everything we do – both today and in the future,” explained Geert Gyselinck, BU Director/Global Commercial Director.

The portfolio of Tessenderlo Kerley International consists of a number of well-recognized specialty fertilizers, including SoluPotasse®, K-Leaf®, Thio-Sul®, KTS®, CaTs®, etc., in which it will continue to invest in terms of innovation, product development and support. This is how Tessenderlo Kerley International aims to demonstrate and guarantee that all of its support - whether by its products, its experts or its advisers – will create maximal output: specifically, a better yield for crops, more control for farmers and a healthier planet for everyone.
