Acceres, currently in the process of merging with SynTech Research, has announced the acquisition of the Certis Research and Development activities in Germany. These comprise 15 staff in 2 facilities: the R&D Center (13 staff) based in Christinenthal, north of Hamburg and an additional field site (2 staff) located in Bad Durkheim, near Mannheim.
These provide efficacy testing, in growth chambers, greenhouses and the field, creation and optimization of agrochemical, bio-pesticide and biocide formulations, tank mix compatibility testing and trials sample management.
