The Dutch based companies INCOTEC, LEBA and Seed Processing Holland BV have reached an agreement on a closer partnership to bring a new unique seed coating technology concept onto the market.
The concept will be marketed under the name Holland Seed Coating Systems™ (HSS).
Seed Processing Holland and LEBA will be responsible for the production of the equipment and Seed Processing Holland for the sales of the coating equipment, while INCOTEC will offer coating technology specially designed for use in this system. In this way optimal integration of the specific know how of each company is achieved and the best combination of hardware and software is used for seed encrusting and seed pelleting, all under the name HSS™. Using these services seed companies are able to make consistent high quality encrustments and pellets at their locations all over the world.
In recent years several INCOTEC customers have implemented the technology and it is being used with great success.
Holland Seed Coating Systems have been made suitable for many kinds of seeds (from vegetables to field crops) and can be offered in many different sizes based on the required capacity..
Under this new agreement Seed Processing Holland BV will be responsible for the sales and after sales service of the equipment. INCOTEC will be supplying the coatings under license agreement to the seed industry and LEBA will continue to design and build the high quality equipment.
Mr. JanWillem Breukink, CEO of the INCOTEC Group: “We are very happy with this partnership. This ensures the availability of equipment that works well with our coatings for our customers worldwide. Of course the choice of hardware remains with the customers but with the HSS™ system they get something that has proven to work very well.”
Mr. Willem van Dok, General Manager of Seed Processing Holland: ”We are excited about this opportunity to be able to offer a complete concept of proven seed coating technology, a package of hardware and software in combination with worldwide service to all our customers.”
