After completion, the Nantong plant will achieve a production capacity of over 20,000 tons, focusing on high-value-added patented insecticides and fungicides
Syngenta’s new crop protection formulation production base project in Nantong was held in Nantong Economic and Technological Development Zone in last week of June. As the strategic importance of the Chinese market to Syngenta Group continues to increase, the new plant has been upgraded and positioned as Syngenta Group’s global benchmark plant for formulation production.
Su Fu, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Syngenta Group China, Zhang Tong, Deputy Secretary of the Nantong Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, and Gao Yifan, Deputy Consul General of the Swiss Consulate General in Shanghai, laid the foundation for the project.
Maitian”, China’s first wheat fusarium head blight control product, was born in the Nantong plant and has become a plant protection tool to ensure a bumper summer grain harvest in China. Over the past three years, the cumulative application area of the “Tian” series of products has exceeded 150 million mu, bringing farmers an increase in production of more than 12.2 billion catties. As an important production base for Syngenta Group’s brand formulation business, the Nantong plant has contributed more than 60% of the product delivery of Syngenta’s brand formulation business in China.
Through a series of “intelligent manufacturing” processes, including the launch of smart safety and health environment, automated warehousing and logistics management, and digital system deployment, it has completed the construction of data centers, network security, and digital interconnection. It aims to create an industry-leading intelligent manufacturing “lighthouse factory” , actively promote energy conservation and emission reduction and sustainable development, and become a global and industry HSEQ benchmark.
After completion, the Nantong plant will achieve a production capacity of over 20,000 tons, focusing on the production of high-efficiency, low-toxic, environmentally friendly, high-value-added patented insecticides and fungicides for plant protection products, filling a number of domestic production gaps while meeting the rapidly growing needs of the Chinese and global plant protection formulation markets.
