Protection Business Unit

Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc., (TKI) announced today, that it has chosen the name NovaSource for its business unit which is developing and marketing EPA registered pesticides for niche crop protection and specialty markets.

In an effort to better focus this effort, TKI has recently created a separate business unit within TKI to manage all of its EPA regulated products including the Sectagon® brands of metam sodium and metam potassium. NovaSource’s mission is to seek and develop off-patent pesticide opportunities through acquisition and generic entry. The company is exploring opportunities in all market sectors, striving to innovatively differentiate its products, and employing a marketing philosophy of limited distribution to foster long term mutual success with its distribution customers.
