Pursell Agri-Tech to expand production with addition of new Savannah facility

Pursell Agri-Tech has agreed to terms to build a new production facility in Savannah, Ga.

According to the company, the new facility will help expand the reach of its coating technologies across the Southeast and beyond. The facility will be located near two rail lines and the country’s No. 1 port for agricultural exports.

The new facility will complement Pursell’s existing production plant in Sylacauga, Ala., and allow for an increase in capacity and improved access to raw materials. The Savannah plant will produce controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) for the turf, ornamental, specialty and broadacre markets. 

“Our primary focus at Pursell is to provide growers with the most robust portfolio of controlled-release products available, empowering them with prescriptive, sustainable and profitable growing solutions,” said Pursell CEO, Nick Adamchak. “Built with innovations like custom release longevities, encapsulated micronutrient mixes and the industry’s largest range of coated substrates, our CRF products create a level of control unlike any other on the market today. We’re looking forward to serving even more fertilizer retailers through the addition of our Savannah plant.”

The Savannah plant is expected to be operational by the end of 2021.
