.

Salinas California
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.

INCOTEC, with headquarters in The Netherlands, is a worldwide leader in coating and seed technology serving the agronomic, vegetable and flower seed industries. An important member of the INCOTEC Group is PROTEIOS, a leading company offering innovative analytical services and products to the seed industry. INCOTEC and PROTEIOS have subsidiaries located in the United States, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Brazil, Japan, India, Australia, China and South Africa.
