North American Innovation Center
Our team of scientists and research specialists at the North American Innovation Center manage and conduct hundreds of environmental and human safety studies required by the U.S. EPA for product registration, while our formulation chemists develop new and innovative systems to ensure our products are not only safe but easy to use in commercial operations. These components are essential requirements for the development of new products and use extensions of existing products.
Involving Our Growers
Whether it be through our top-tier scientist and Territory Account Managers, channel partners, everyday lives, or digital platforms, Valent U.S.A. remains connected to growers. We believe that grower challenges are our challenges, and grower success is our success. And, it’s our job to listen and understand our grower’s goals, crops, and challenges.

Field Discovery
Your operation doesn't exist in a laboratory, which is why our products are also tested at our state-of-the-art research farms. The Valent Field Discovery Team works closely with Sumitomo Chemical and other Valent Group Companies to evaluate potential new products under commercial U.S. farming conditions. Our top tier Valent U.S.A. scientist use real-world research to develop crop protection products to fit tomorrow’s challenges and addresses the challenges growers are facing in the field today.
