Gustavo Grobocopatel, founder of the company, opened the event by videoconference and spoke about the origins of the Group, which were precisely in that area, and highlighted: “We started almost 40 years ago, as a family business, founded by my father in Carlos Casares. As time went by, professionals, partners and investment funds were incorporated. 'Together we add value', our motto, is a concept that means being, together with the producer as peers, to face the challenges of a world that is not going to stop changing."

For his part, Emanuel Bodega Duckwitz, Commercial Manager of Los Grobo Agropecuaria, highlighted “At Grupo Los Grobo we are committed to continuing to grow and consolidate ourselves in the country, in the amount of grains collected, in the distribution of agrochemicals, in partners, in hectares produced with associative schemes, and in billing” and added: “The inauguration of this new branch in America reaffirms the plan that we drew up 4 years ago where we set out to deepen the development of the entire service chain in the West of the Province of Buenos Aires.”

The new branch will be led by David Lorences, a local leader with extensive experience in the sector and deep territorial knowledge. The new offices are located at Route 33 Km 383.5 and have a large seed warehouse, the full range of crop protection products, as well as comfortable facilities and meeting rooms.

America is part of the expansion plan projected by the company that contemplates a progressive growth of the planted area and the opening of new input distribution points and the possibility of originating more grains for commercialization. In this way, it joins the extensive network of integrated service centers of Los Grobo, and the company's recent landing in San Andres de Giles, Bolívar (Buenos Aires), Alta Gracia (Córdoba) and Intendente Alvear (La Pampa).
