SynTech Research Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Stepan Company (NYSE: SCL) to expand Stepan’s Advanced Formulation Services (AFS) platform across North America.
This collaboration unites SynTech Research’s comprehensive development and regulatory expertise with Stepan’s advanced formulation capabilities, creating a fully integrated service offering that supports customers from initial concept through to commercialization. Together, the companies will deliver a seamless continuum of solutions: covering formulation, field and laboratory testing, regulatory strategy, and registration support, helping accelerate the path to market for innovative crop protection and biological products.
“By aligning with Stepan, we’re enhancing our ability to support customers from early-stage concepts to commercialization,” said Jasper Barnes, Director, Global Business Development at SynTech Research Group.
Stepan’s AFS platform was developed to accelerate product development through formulation design, testing, and scale-up support. By combining this platform with SynTech’s extensive field trial network, analytical laboratories, and regulatory expertise, customers will benefit from world-class, end-to-end services tailored to the needs of the North American market.
