Bioline Agrosciences has announced the acquisition of Kenyan biocontrol company Dudutech from the British company Flamingo Group International — a global player in the production and sale of cut flowers, plants, and fresh vegetables.

Created in 2001, Dudutech is Africa’s leader in integrated pest management with a wealth of experience in designing and delivering biological pest control solutions. With its new biofactory in Kenya, Bioline owns now 8 production sites in the world (Europe, North America, and Africa).

“The biocontrol market is growing strongly, and the acquisition of Dudutech will allow us to increase our technological leadership, complete our product portfolio, says Ludwik Pokorny, CEO of Bioline Agrosciences. “This is a unique opportunity to specialize in flower production by creating this partnership with the Flamingo Group and to bring our 40-year-old expertise on other crops in the region.”

Tom Mason, who is and will remain Managing Director of Dudutech, added, “This acquisition is a unique chance for us to consolidate our leading position in Africa, combining our technologies with the well-known brand and the extensive experience of Bioline Agrosciences.”
