July 13, 2009
INCOTEC Integrated Coating and
Seed Technology, Inc. announced that on July 1st 2009 it
renewed certification as an organic operation of its production
facility in Salinas California. INCOTEC is now certified by
Monterey County Certified Organic as an organic seed technology
production facility certifying it meets the standards
established by the USDA National Organic Program.
Carey Witham, V.P. of Production and Operations, comments “This
organic certification is an important part of our overall
production strategy and is strengthened by our current ISO
quality management system. We are moving into our sixth year as
a certified organic facility and we are excited to be able to
offer high quality organic products.”
INCOTEC’s Sales Manager, Brad Kortsen states “Being able to
offer both high quality organic products as well as conventional
seed technology products is part of INCOTEC’s long term strategy
to be a full service provider of high quality products to the
market. Our certification includes organic seed priming,
pelleting as well as formulation of organic pelleting powders
and binders offered for licensing to other pelleting
organizations.”
INOCOTEC in North America operates production facilities in both
Salinas and Gonzales California. While the Gonzales facility
produces conventional products incorporating plant protection
products to seed, the Salinas facility is dedicated to the
production of organic products as well as products with no seed
protection additives. This separation of production of
conventional and organic products in two separate facilities is
important in maintaining the highest integrity for its organic
product line.
