  • 35,933 sq. ft. in new laboratory space

“Farmers all over the world must feed, clothe and fuel more people than ever before,” said Vern Hawkins, president of Syngenta Crop Protection North America. “The Greensboro-area team does important work helping American farmers protect their crops sustainably. This team remains committed to living and working in the Triad, and supporting community organizations that benefit our friends and neighbors.”

This project has been in the works since 2020 when Syngenta began re-evaluating the space, and the says it’s been a collaboration among city, county, state and company leaders.

“The grand opening of Syngenta’s North America crop protection headquarters is a testament to the strength and potential of Greensboro as a hub for innovation,” said Greensboro Chamber of Commerce president & CEO Brent Christensen. “Syngenta has long been a pillar of our community, and this state-of-the-art facility solidifies their commitment to the region and positions us as a leader in the agricultural technology sector. We’re excited to see how this investment in cutting-edge technology and talent will drive growth and collaboration, both locally and globally.”
