As part of its further strategic business development in the area of soft technology Certis Europe has, since 1 April 2015, relocated its R&D team to new facilities at the Japan Agro Services (JAS) site near Nimes in France. In the new facilities the R&D team will have access to a wide range of laboratory equipment and opportunities for conducting field trials. The IPM R&D laboratory will focus primarily on development of biopesticides and natural compounds, and their inclusion into IPM programmes, while retaining close links with beneficial insect and mite production at BCP.
The day-to-day activities of the laboratory will be supervised by Audun Midthassel (R&D Technician) under the management of Ian Baxter (Product Development Manager). In addition to closer collaboration and experience sharing with the team at JAS, the new location offers improved support for key customers in IPM, reinforced by the relocation to the region of Amélie Boullenger Midthassel (IPM Support Manager). Working closely with the BCP technical team, she will keep abreast of latest developments and field trials work, to the benefit of Certis’ IPM customers across Europe.
