Écully, January 12, 2023 – SBM Life Science, an international leader committed to Biocontrol for several years, will participate from January 17 to 19 in the 36th edition of the SIVAL in Angers, the annual meeting of professionals in the plant sector in France.
SBM Life Science’s R&D, Sourcing and Marketing teams will be present in the Biocontrol Village alongside IBMA, the French association of biocontrol product companies, of which SBM is an active member and sits on the Board of Directors. In addition, Denis Jardel, Technical Director of SBM Life Science France, will share his expertise during a conference entitled “Biocontrol, a reference tool for home gardeners & future solutions for professionals” on January 17 afternoon.
Every year, the SIVAL in Angers brings together more than 26,000 professionals involved in the plant industry, offering a complete range of products and services in arboriculture, vegetable crops, seeds, viticulture, horticulture, medicinal and aromatic plants.
During this edition, the Biocontrol Village will host a dedicated Forum where institutional organizations will speak in the morning, while the afternoons will be devoted to presentations on biocontrol by IBMA France member companies.
As part of the Forum, Denis Jardel, Technical Director of SBM Life Science France, will give a conference on January 17 at 3:15 pm on the theme “Biocontrol, a reference tool for amateur gardeners and future solutions for professionals”.
“Our SBM Life Science teams are excited to participate in this great event! This show represents a unique opportunity to discuss the needs of professionals in the plant sector and the answers we can provide, particularly through our biocontrol solutions.” Gilles Ravot, Director Innovation, R&D, Regulatory Affairs SBM Company.
Taking advantage of this event, SBM will also communicate on its Golden Victory award in the “headquarters” category, awarded by VALHOR, the French interprofession of horticulture, floristry and landscape.
This prize, awarded on December 8, 2022 in Paris, was given in recognition of the construction of the SBM head office, which was carried out in a responsible manner in line with the group’s vision.
Indeed, the project was conceived through a collaborative approach to the design of the project with all employees, but also by focusing on the Quality of Life at Work, the development of
Biodiversity, the promotion of natural gardening as well as the development of an industrial wasteland in the existing heritage.
