About Us

Gustafson now Bayer CropScience

After years of successful collaboration, US-based legacy company Gustafson LLC became 100 percent part of the Bayer CropScience family in March 2004, following an acquisition of 50 percent interest in 1998.

Founded in 1926, Gustafson had a long history in the seed treatment market. For more than 70 years, the company developed, improved, manufactured and marketed seed treatment products and application machinery that provided practical, profitable solutions.


As an inventor company, we continue to focus our activities on producing the highest quality application machinery for the seed treatment industry. Only Bayer offers seed treatment products and machinery for which to apply them. Our integrated approach offers sustainable systems and solutions for meeting the needs of a changing agricultural world.

More than products, we support your business with a dedicated Seed Application Technology platform. This encompasses a machinery department able to build or customize new seed treatment machinery, 7 centers of application worldwide with local experts (Seed Treatment Application Centers) and a dedicated Research Facility. We work with you, locally and globally, to obtain the best treated seeds, perfectly covered and colored, easy and safe to use for your customers.
Innovation...it's in everything we do.
