Stepan and Staphyt Announce Strategic Collaboration Agreement to Accelerate Agricultural Innovation in Europe
In a fast-changing world, adaptability is essential, especially when navigating innovation with regulated products. Each new technology must be viewed through multiple lenses to determine its most relevant path to market. With this in mind, Stepan Company and Staphyt have entered into a strategic collaboration to deliver a full-service solution for bringing regulated agricultural products to the European market. This collaboration combines Stepan’s formulation expertise with Staphyt’s regulatory and field/laboratory evaluation capabilities to help innovators accelerate time to market and ensure product quality and sustainability.
By combining Stepan’s Advanced Formulation Services (AFS) with Staphyt’s regulatory strategy and GEP/GLP data generation, agricultural companies gain access to a comprehensive, 360° approach—from concept development and formulation design to field validation and market launch.
“Introducing new product concepts into the agricultural sector presents significant challenges and complexities. Collaborative agreements, such as the one announced today, offer an effective means to leverage the complementary strengths of both organizations, thereby accelerating time to market and delivering value to innovators across the value chain,” said Dave Allen, VP of Global Crop Productivity, Stepan.
