Rovensa extends global reach after incorporating Mexican bioinputs giant
A company from Monterrey is the newest addition to the portfolio of the Iberian Rovensa group. It is Cosmocel, a firm based in northern Mexico, dedicated to the production of special biostimulants and high-tech products for agriculture.
This, after Rovensa, a conglomerate formed by a series of acquisitions of bioinputs companies in Spain and Portugal, announced that it would integrate the Mexican company. The group announced in a statement that with this acquisition, the details of which have not been disclosed, it will become "a world leader in biosolutions for sustainable agriculture".
In fact, Cosmocel is a company of relevant size: it has 60 years in the market and a portfolio of more than 100 products that include bio-stimulants, biocontrol and adjuvants. It has more than 700 employees, three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, 11 offices and 26 warehouses to serve its customers in more than 50 countries in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and South Africa.
The closing of the integration is subject only to the approval of the competition authorities. However, Rovensa ha emitido un comunicado en el que manifiesta que esta integración estratégica posiciona a Rovensa como “líder mundial en biosoluciones para la agricultura sostenible y está plenamente alineada con su estrategia de ofrecer a los distribuidores y a los agricultores soluciones innovadoras para aumentar la productividad de la tierra y la rentabilidad de la producción, logrando a su vez que los cultivos sean sostenibles con el fin de proteger y preservar el medio ambiente para generaciones futuras”.
The firm explained that Cosmocel complements Rovensa's geographic footprint, bringing exposure to new geographies and greater access to strategic markets in the Americas. It also brings production capabilities in Mexico, additional R&D competencies and material product synergies.
“Estamos encantados de dar la bienvenida a Cosmocel al grupo para reforzar nuestra presencia global como proveedor de referencia de soluciones equilibradas para la agricultura”, dice Eric van Innis, director general de ROVENSA. “Esta integración estratégica pone de manifiesto nuestras ambiciones de crecimiento en el mercado internacional de las BioSoluciones y nuestro firme compromiso con la agricultura sostenible”.
La dirección de Cosmocel añadió: “Creemos firmemente que esta integración será muy beneficiosa para COSMOCEL y para todos los que forman parte de la organización. Desde el inicio de nuestras conversaciones, ROVENSA siempre demostró un claro compromiso y voluntad de preservar nuestra cultura y nuestra gente, lo que sin duda nos permitirá, junto con los demás negocios de ROVENSA, seguir en el camino de contribuir a una agricultura mejor y más sostenible.”
Rovensa was advised by J.P. Morgan, Uría Menéndez, Dunham Trimmer, PwC, Marsh and ERM. Cosmocel was advised by Seale & Associates, Santamarina + Steta, EY and ERM.
