The company has not detailed the investment total or the construction timeline, but says it will specialize in the "very basis" of its development process — sciences like phenomics and metabolomics.
The park will include a phenomics greenhouse and growth chambers to create "new-generation biostimulants," a convention and training center and "Innovation in Agriculture"-themed exhibit space.
Chief Executive Officer Luca Bonini says "the park project represents further confirmation of our commitment to being a leader in sustainable and environmentally responsible agriculture. We are proud to announce the creation of ITALPOLLINA PARK, a unique industrial and scientific center that will be a world landmark for the sector, and set the highest standards in the biostimulants market."
The company says its 70,000 square-foot continental HQ will "provide the world’s largest production capacity of its type." Italpollina has a presence in 80 countries.
