Marrone Bio begins production at Michigan plant

In California, Marrone Bio announced it has initiated production of Grandevo, its bioinsecticide, at its Bangor, MI plant. This is the company’s first production of a fermentation product at this location since renovation of the plant, acquired in July 2012, was initiated.

Revitalization and expansion of the facility will be completed in multiple phases with an anticipated total capital expenditure of $32 million. Installation of the first of three fermentation tanks, and the construction of a dedicated building to house them, marks the completion of phase 1A of the project.
