Biologicals provider Certis USA adds new Midwest rep

Certis USA recently announced that Ivan Wollenmann will be bring his expertise to its team of experienced sales professionals as the new Regional Manager, Midwest.

Since the early 1990s, Wollenmann has been working with growers, co-ops and input companies to match solutions to need. He will be responsible for sales and marketing of Certis USA’s extensive biopesticide product line across Midwestern states and into a diverse array of crop categories.

“We are seeing a tremendous amount of growth opportunity for biologicals into crops that have previously relied on synthetic chemistries and much of that trajectory falls in the Midwestern U.S.,” said Scott Peterson, National Sales Director, U.S. Ag. “Ivan’s vast network from his long career serving the input needs of growers will deliver a new set of solutions to these growers and continue serving the needs of our existing customers in the region.”

Wollenmann’s expertise was garnered through recent positions with SUL4R-PLUS and KOCH Agronomic Services where he introduced to the market two new nitrogen stabilizer products. In positions with WinField United and LG Seeds, Wollenmann honed his skills in providing input solutions to growers and managing supply relationships with channel partners.

“I have spent my career in input specialties and have watched as the biologicals industry has skyrocketed, thanks in part to the pioneering leadership of Certis USA,” said Wollenmann. “Being a part of that leadership now will give me more opportunity to help growers in the Midwest succeed in their businesses and livelihoods.”
