Marrone Bio breaks ground in Michigan

In Michigan, Marrone Bio has broken ground at their Marrone Michigan Manufacturing facility in Bangor.  MBI CEO Pam Marrone was joined by Senator Debbie Stabenow, Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, and Bangor Mayor Jennifer Carpio-Zeller to celebrate the occasion.

As a bio-based manufacturer, MBI is precisely the type of company that Senator Stabenow is looking to bring to Michigan.  The 11-acre, 11,000 sq. ft.  manufacturing site is a former biodiesel manufacturing plant that MBI plans to repurpose to produce natural pest management products, or biopesticides, for the agriculture and water treatment markets beginning in early 2013.
