United States ·
Albaugh is a global company in the production and sale of post-patent crop protection products. It was founded in Iowa in 1979 by a farmer who wanted to give growers more choice and better value, and Albaugh, LLC is based in Ankeny, Iowa. The business runs through regional organisations and its own manufacturing facilities, including a European unit headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, with product lines covering crop protection, seed treatment and turf and ornamental uses.
Post-patent products use active ingredients whose original patents have expired, so a farm can buy proven chemistry in formulations made for its own market and crops. Albaugh's range covers herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and seed protection, with formulations adapted locally, such as the Sultan insecticide launched in Brazil and the copper salt-based HiBio technology. Products reach growers mainly through distributors, so local formulation, availability and service arrangements shape the offer in each country.

Albaugh reports a presence in over 80 countries, with plants in locations including the US, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Slovenia, China and India.
