Have you ever noticed the Syngenta building out by I_40 in west Greensboro. The campus, with mature trees, and Building F (photographed above) that reflects the sky, especially at sunset. Syngenta was formed in 2000 with the merger of Novartis and AstraZenica, both agrichemical businesses. In 2015, they were acquired by China National Chemical Corporation. In 2020, Syngenta Group was formed, a conglomeration of Syngenta, Adama, and SinoChem. Syngenta and all of the other producers of agricultural chemicals that have been folded into Chem-China, are China's biggest foreign acquisitions.
While the Syngenta headquarters is in Switzerland, Greensboro is home to the U.S. Headquarters which is located on Swing Road. We're betting that with all of the agri-business courses and STEM majors at N.C. A.&T. University in Greensboro, there is tremendous opportunity for local students to work at Syngenta locally, and also abroad. As we drove around the area, we realized the Cooper's Ale House relocated right across the street. Syngenta employees can walk across the street and get a great meal without having to get in their cars!
Have a great Monday!
A good shot.
