J. Oliver Products, LLC is a new
company backed up by extensive industry experience. James Oliver founded
the company in March 2006. He has worked in both brands and generics,
spending 25 years with Velsicol and Sandoz, and 10 years in off-patent
products. "Instead of being owned by a large corporation,
J. Oliver Products is an independent
company—like the growers that it serves," Oliver says. "Companies like
ours bring competition to the major corporations and lower the cost for
farmers. The
cost of production—including the price of seed, technology fees, diesel fuel and fertilizer—is
skyrocketing. One of the few cost relief items available to growers is
off-patent products, which bring competition to the marketplace and help
lower farmers' cost.
"We're one of the few privately-held
chemical companies. Most corporations are less responsive to farmers'
needs than an independent like us. What's right for the farmer is right
for us—we're lean and can pass along our savings to growers."
Since its
beginning, the company has aggressively expanded its product portfolio.
"We use four different state-of-the-art manufacturing plants," Oliver
says, "and we're backed up by some of the best formulation chemists in
the industry.
"Our products are available at an ag retail location near you. Please
call our office at 662.429.7621 and we'll direct you to an ag retail
outlet offering our products."
