Establishing a new corporate headquarters in Wilmington presents a fresh start and professional face to customers, and was desirable due to the geographic accessibility of the Belgium and Canadian office. Additionally, the East coast is a hub to multiple agricultural chemical companies, which will provide a convenience for future business growth.

Tom Wood will take on the overall leadership of the team in the U.S. He will develop and implement the sales and marketing strategy, ensure engagement of the key business partners in the country, and manage cross-functional communication with the Guelph Development Center in Canada and the Belchim Headquarters in Belgium.

“I am excited to lead a team of experienced individuals with extensive backgrounds in the agriculture, turf, and ornamental industries as we expand into the U.S.,” Wood says. “Belchim’s portfolio and pipeline of innovative products will provide great opportunities and will be an integral part of our global growth initiatives.”
