EVERRIS™ CELEBRATES THE GRAND OPENING OF AMERICAN OFFICES AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FACILITIES
DUBLIN, OH (March 26, 2012) – Almost exactly one year after announcing the sale of Scotts Professional to ICL, officials from ICL and Everris™ celebrated the opening of Everris’s new offices and research and development facilities in Dublin, OH.
At the grand opening on February 27, Yossi Zidon, CEO of ICL Specialty Fertilizers, Fred Bosch, CEO of Everris and Ariana Cohen, president of Everris Americas presided over a ribbon cutting ceremony. Steve Lombardo, manager of research and development for Everris Americas, then led tours of the new facilities, including an in-depth look at the laboratory’s capabilities. “This new lab will serve as a key resource for both field technical services and field salespeople,” Lombardo said. “This space has all the features we need to conduct both present and future product analysis and development.”
Everris will formulate its new and existing plant protection products at this lab, as well as coat and blend its new and improved controlled release fertilizers. Technical specialists will also benchmark release profiles for products from Everris and its competitors at these facilities, leveraging their findings to develop new formulas and optimize existing ones.
The grand opening reception concluded with a catered lunch and presentations from both Zidon and Bosch. “This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Everris,” Zidon said. “These new facilities reflect ICL’s long-term commitment to Everris, its team members and its customers. I have every reason to believe that this grand opening is just one of many successes we will have to celebrate.”

IA Welcomes WaterSense’s Move to Remove 40 Percent Turf Restriction from New Home Labeling Program
FALLS CHURCH, VA. (Oct. 25, 2011) – The Irrigation Association applauds the recent
announcement of the WaterSense program’s intent to remove the 40 percent turfgrass
restriction from the single-family new home specification. WaterSense’s announcement
culminates three years of the Irrigation Association’s efforts to remove this option from
the new homes specification.
Released in December 2009, the final specification of the WaterSense single-family new
home labeling program that enabled a new home to qualify for a WaterSense label
contained two options for landscape design: 1) adhere to a water budget tool, or 2)
restrict the use of turfgrass to 40 percent of the landscapable area. With the recent
announcement by WaterSense, the only requirement for builders wishing to be eligible
for this labeling would be to adhere to the water budget tool.

NEWS ARTICLE
The New Face of SNA
The Southern Nursery Association (SNA) is undergoing an extreme makeover. There’s no radical surgery involved, but it’s certainly more than a fresh coat of paint or a new logo. This will never be a tv reality show, but it’s a story worth telling.
