Summit Seed Coatings heads to Indiana

Salem, Indiana will be the first home for Summit Seed Coatings in the Midwest.  Founded in 2002, the Idaho based company produces seed coatings for major seed distributors, which sell their seeds to agriculture dealers and government dealers, as well as at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walmart, and other garden retail stores.  Summit Seed Coatings currently coats small seeded legumes, alfalfa, clover, cover crops, radishes, forage grasses, and retail grasses for homeowners.

The company’s manager, Stuart Barclay said three Midwestern states were included in the search, but ultimately chose Salem because of the similar cultural atmosphere to Caldwell, Idaho where Summit Seed Coatings is based.

The company plans to lease, renovate, and equip a 60,000 sq foot facility in Salem, Ind. that will create up to 20 new jobs by 2017.
