Maizex unifies corn, soybean seed brands 

Starting with the 2024 marketing campaign, Maizex Seeds will be promoting both seed corn and soybeans under the Maizex Seeds brand. 

“When we launched the joint venture between Maizex Seeds and Sollio Agriculture five years ago, our goal was to ensure our joint customer and distribution base, formed by bringing two seed businesses together, was informed and engaged in our new direction,” says Blake Ashton, general manager of Maizex Seeds. 

To support this, the company kept both legacy seed brands, using Maizex for all seed corn hybrids and Elite for all soybean varieties. “This strategy served Maizex well through our transition period as it recognized the staff effort and customer loyalty needed to build each brand in the Canadian market,” says Ashton.
