St. Johns, Mich. — AgroLiquid, a leader in high-efficiency crop liquid fertilizer solutions, announced the acquisition of Monty’s Plant Food Company, a Louisville-based specialist in soil health and plant nutrition technology.
The acquisition, effective January 1, 2025, brings together two family-founded businesses that excel in agricultural innovation and share a commitment to farmer success.
“This strategic combination allows us to bring crop nutrition technologies to growers that wouldn't otherwise be available to them,” said Nick Bancroft, CEO of AgroLiquid. “While both companies share the same goals in advancing agricultural innovation, our different approaches to achieving them will create new opportunities to optimize nutrient efficiency and productivity for growers.”
The acquisition unites AgroLiquid's expertise in liquid fertilizer solutions with Monty's specialized knowledge in soil health and humic technology. Both companies will maintain their distinct brands and continue operating independently through the 2025 growing season to ensure seamless service to their respective customers.
“Joining forces with AgroLiquid marks an exciting new chapter for Monty's Plant Food,” said Jeff Sangalli, CEO of Monty's Plant Food Company. “Our shared farmer-first philosophy and commitment to innovation made this a natural fit. By combining our complementary strengths, we're positioned to deliver even greater value to the agricultural industry.”
The integration of the two companies will focus on leveraging operational capabilities, including manufacturing, warehousing and storage infrastructure to enhance service for customers. The combined entity will maintain both companies’ existing product lines while exploring opportunities for technological advancement in plant and crop nutrition solutions.
Following the acquisition, Monty’s Plant Food will continue to operate under its current name as a privately owned company, with Jeff Sangalli continuing to lead the Monty’s business.
