AMGUARD™ Environmental Technologies (“AMGUARD”), an American Vanguard® (“AVD”) Company and a leading provider of proven chemistries and low-impact solutions to the professional pest, public health, golf, lawn care, and ornamental markets, and ADAPCO, an Azelis Americas company, have agreed to a five-year partnership for the distribution of AMGUARD’s products to the U.S. public health vector market. This agreement extends a more than three-decade long relationship between the two companies and sets the stage for future growth and success in the U.S. public health market.
Included in the distribution partnership are AMGUARD products Dibrom® and Trumpet®. These two Naled-based insecticides are the proven public health gold standard for aerial mosquito control applications and a critical tool for protecting the population from vector-borne diseases.
Highlights and Rationale of the Partnership
• Reinforces the importance of Dibrom and Trumpet as the leading solutions for aerial mosquito control applications
• Creates a multi-year commitment to the stable and reliable supply of these gold standard weapons for combating disease-bearing vectors
• Builds upon an existing strong and collaborative relationship between leading players in aerial-applied mosquito control products
• Enables collaboration on product innovation and development of new technologies for the vector control sector
• Highlights the added value Azelis brings the principal/distributor partnership with the multi-year timeframe
• Facilitates and solidifies AMGUARD’s commitment to providing a steady and reliable supply chain for these critical components, which are needed to safeguard public health
ADAPCO and AMGUARD have a shared commitment to being the innovation and technology leader in the sector. Together, the two companies will leverage ADAPCO’s deep industry technical and market development expertise to explore the development of new technology solutions for the public health market that leverage advanced technologies from Envance Technologies® (“Envance”) and TyraTech™. Both Envance and TyraTech are AMGUARD R&D technology and innovation companies that are a major part of AVD’s growing portfolio of green solutions.
Shayne M. Wetherall, CEO of AMGUARD Environmental Technologies, says:
“As the market leader in providing technology and aerial delivery solutions that prevent and eliminate pests which carry vector-borne disease, AMGUARD Environmental Technologies continually seeks to innovate new technologies and applications that improve our customers’ outcomes. This partnership with ADAPCO, with whom we have a long-standing business relationship, underscores our commitment to providing a steady, reliable supply of Dibrom and Trumpet, which are the gold standard for aerial-applied mosquito control products. We look forward to the next chapter of new opportunities with ADAPCO which we are confident will bring immediate benefits to the marketplace.”
Jason Trumbetta, General Manager, ADAPCO, says:
“ADAPCO is extremely excited to build on a 30-year relationship with AMGUARD by agreeing to this new five-year partnership. The opportunity to help our key principals in their commercial success by sticking to our core value of Innovation through Formulation is Azelis’ and ADAPCO’s true differentiator. Through collaboration on innovation with the leader in the aerial mosquito control chemistry while targeting solutions aimed to reduce vector-borne disease, future developments will benefit entire communities in which we serve, further reinforcing our longstanding ethos of preserving public health.”
