Certis USA Expands Facility

Certis USA has built a new azadirachtin formulation and packaging facility in its factory in Wasco, California. The construction expands the company’s capacity for its neem seed-based bio-insecticide Neemix 4.5. The expansion also establishes a vertically integrated in-house production system for Certis’ neem bio-pesticides, from its joint-venture company in India that performs seed sourcing, cleaning, extraction and processing, to its dedicated neem oil and azadirachtin purification, formulation and packaging facility in California.

Neemix 4.5 is an insect growth regulator used to control pests including weevils, leafhoppers, nematodes and cutworms.
