United States ·
American Vanguard is a diversified specialty and agriculture products company with its global headquarters in Newport Beach, California, and roots going back to 1945. Its agricultural operations include AMVAC, which supplies crop protection products and the SIMPAS and SmartBox precision application systems. Alongside established agrochemistry, the group has built a GreenSolutions portfolio of biological and nutritional products, and it also serves turf, ornamental and public and animal health markets.
For farms, the company's distinctive feature is that it sells both the product and the way it reaches the field. Precision application systems mounted on a planter meter crop protection products as the seed goes in, so the amount applied can follow a prescription map instead of a single rate across the whole field. This lets growers place inputs where soil conditions or pest pressure call for them, while the plant and soil health range sits alongside conventional chemistry.
Size of the business
American Vanguard reported group net sales of approximately USD 515 million in 2025. This total also includes its turf, ornamental and non-agricultural pest control business.
What does the company offer?
