Syngenta: "single-handedly almost impossible"
Michel Demare, Chairman of agrochemicals group Syngenta, confirmed in an exclusive interview with "Finanz und Wirtschaft" advanced takeover talks with several potential partners.
Hardly a day goes by without new rumors about the crop protection and seeds group Syngenta. In summer, the company has several takeover overtures from US competitor Monsanto refused decidedly. The latest rumor has it that the Chinese state-owned company ChemChina has his eye on the global number one in plant protection chemicals with $ 15 billion in sales. Michel Demare, President of the Administrative Council of Syngenta, confirmed in an exclusive interview with "Finanz und Wirtschaft", that the company is in advanced, formal negotiations with various potential partners.
Mr. Demare, Syngenta is in talks with ChemChina and Monsanto?
Yes, but not only with these two. We realize we have to find a value-added solution. Start year another single-handedly for Syngenta was conceivable. But since then, the momentum has changed in the industry. The Monsanto foray has caused among our shareholders for uncertainty, but I am still of the opinion that it has not located at us that it did not come to a deal. The economic situation remains poor in 2016, and therefore we can not expect too much in terms of the share price.
