Germains, a family-owned business, was established in Los Angeles, California, in 1871 and grew rapidly to become one of the leading seed companies in the western United States. A program of diversification during the 1940s and 1950s saw the establishment of several business divisions, including rose breeding, paper products for the home and garden market, and seed pelleting and coating. The significance of the seed pelleting business extended beyond California; by the 1960s and 1970s,\u00a0 establishing facilities in Europe. The business ceased to be family-owned, with the seed pelleting and coating technology eventually coming under the ownership of Associated British Foods.<\/p>\n\t\t\t

1950s – Research and development always played an important part in the Company\u2019s thinking. In the early 1950s, the Filcoat Processed Seed Division formed. Germains was the first to introduce pelleted seed into the American market and with the proven agronomic benefit to coated seed; the Division played an ever-increasing role in commercial agriculture, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
