France is an important market for INCOTEC and with this new activity INCOTEC expects to be able to better meet the requirements of its customers and growers in France.

INCOTEC is offering a large range of high quality film coatings for field crops sold under the name DISCO™ AG. These products are suitable for the application of dust-free seed treatments. INCOTEC's most recently introduced products are the innovative and sustainable ThermoSeed™, a disinfection method using hot humid air, and GeniusCoat™, a very unique new yield enhancer for crops like wheat.

INCOTEC France started its sales activities on August 1st, 2011, under the management of Pascal Parize and the company expects to expand its activities in the future with local production and research.

Parize, who has more than 20 years experience in agriculture and the seed industry, has previously held various sales and marketing positions. Most recently he served as Sales Director at leading seed and crop protection companies.

We are very happy to have Pascal Parize on board and expect that he will expand our business in France considerably in the coming years. ".
