Agricultural technology company Vylor plans to establish operations in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The $7 million project is expected to create at least 130 jobs over the next five years.

The company’s new Global Corporate Business Center will focus on advanced seed and genetics technologies supported by biotechnology and agricultural innovation.

“We’re excited to locate our new Global Corporate Business Center in Pennsylvania to help grow the future of Vylor and strengthen the state’s strong ties to agriculture,” said future Vylor CEO Chuck Magro. “We look forward to working together in the shared belief that science and innovation will advance agriculture, build rural economies and help farmers feed and fuel a growing population.”

To support the project, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) provided Vylor with a $3.5 million funding proposal.

“Vylor’s decision to locate its new Global Corporate Business Center in Pennsylvania is another clear example of how we’re competing for, and winning, transformative projects that create opportunity and drive long-term economic growth here,” noted DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “The Shapiro Administration is making strategic investments that help companies grow, create jobs, and put down roots in our communities.”

Vylor, created as a standalone company through the planned separation of Corteva’s seed and crop genetics business, develops products and technologies for crop production, including hybrid seeds and gene-editing applications. The company’s operations include seed production, agricultural research, biotechnology development, and distribution for farming markets.

“Responsibly developed seed treatments are an important tool for farmers in targeting pest control with fewer chemicals while increasing yields and lowering costs,” added Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “Attracting businesses that use innovative technology to solve real problems is a sound investment in Pennsylvania agriculture.”
