Glencore Agriculture announces it will rebrand the business to Viterra in late 2020.
Glencore Agriculture CEO David Mattiske commented:
“For over 40 years Glencore invested in the business to create one of the world’s leading agriculture networks.
“With the investment by CPP Investments and British Colombia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) in 2016, we now have three strong shareholders who share our vision for future growth and success.
“Viterra is a globally recognised brand within the business. It also has a deep connection to agriculture, with Viterra meaning vitality from the earth.
“This is an opportunity to unite our business under one brand with a shared purpose and identity.
“We are planning for a smooth transition to the new brand over the coming months, while for employees and customers it’s business as usual.”
