Advanced Biological Marketing is best known for biological seed treatments including its soybean inoculant line. Brands such as Excalibre™ and Americas Best Inoculant® are the fastest growing products in their class and are proven leaders for soybeans and other legumes. ABM developed patent pending Excalibre, an encapsulated form of Americas Best Inoculant allowing for an extra long planting window and compatibility with approved seed treatments. Most recently ABM introduced Graph-Ex, a combination of Excalibre and talcgraphite lubricant. Exceptional demand for these products has provided outstanding growth for ABM and the need for the company to reorganize its product lines and systems.
Advanced Biological Marketing, based in Van Wert, Ohio was founded in 2000. ABM identifies, develops and markets specialty biological products for production agriculture. In 2007, a consumer division was developed to provide environmentally friendly cleaners and waste management products. ABM sells and distributes its products nationwide and internationally.
