Valent BioSciences
To meet the increasing demands and projected growth for its arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) products, Valent BioSciences plans to construct a manufacturing facility in White City, Oregon. This new plant will complement the existing headquarters and manufacturing operations for its subsidiary company, Mycorrhizal Applications, in Grants Pass, Oregon. As a supplier of mycorrhizal soil inoculants, Mycorrhizal Applications researches and markets mycorrhizal fungi. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots to create a symbiotic root-and-mycelial network within the surrounding soils, increasing efficiency in nutrient and water absorption to optimize plant hardiness and vigor. The White City facility will produce AMF used in the agriculture, horticulture, and turf and ornamental markets. Headquartered in Libertyville, Illinois, Valent BioSciences is a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Sumitomo Chemical Co.
