An Indiana-based seed company has announced plans to open a satellite office in Purdue’s Discovery Park District, giving it proximity and access to the university’s research, technology and talent pool.

Atlanta-based Beck’s Hybrids is the largest family-owned retail seed company in the U.S.

The company plans to open an office at Carr Workplaces, a recently opened coworking space inside the Convergence Center for Innovation and Collaboration.

“This location will provide opportunities to increase our collaborations with the university, the Purdue Foundry and innovators in agricultural research,” said Scott Beck, president of Beck’s.

Karen Plaut, dean of Purdue’s College of Agriculture, said the location will allow students to network and collaborate on potential research efforts with Beck’s staff.
