Dow AgroSciences Announces Investment Plans for Michigan Operations

Dow AgroSciences LLC, a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, announced today that it will move production of several key current and future Dow AgroSciences products to Michigan Operations over the next 18 to 24 months.

The decision will allow Dow AgroSciences to increase production, lower costs, increase profitability and provide future capability to produce new molecules. Active ingredients for four significant crop protection molecules have been identified as excellent matches for the asset.

“Dow AgroSciences has been one our key businesses in Michigan Operations and a source of growth over the past few years, and we’re pleased to see continued investments from this market-facing business,” says David Dupre, Michigan Operations Site Leader and Vice President of Operations for Dow AgroSciences. “This investment will allow us to bring an underutilized asset to full production capacity in a very short time.”

This project, which is subject to approval of state and local tax incentives, will result in approximately 20 new jobs at Michigan Operations.
