Growing a market in T&O
Article Abstract:
Regal Chemical Co of Alphretta, GA, started as a distributor of chemicals in the late 1960s under the leadership of Jim King. In 1978, the company decided to release its proprietary products, which were specifically formulated for the turfgrass and ornamental markets, in an effort to increase profits. That venture has started the success of the company. To date, Regal Chemicals has about 35 proprietary pesticide and fertilizer products.

Tenkoz takes off
Article Abstract:
Agricultural chemical group buying organization Tenkoz has grown to 19 companies since it was established in 1983 and its purchasing volume has outlets risen from $200 million to $2 billion in 2000. The member companies carefully choose Tenkoz' product offerings, which are restricted to crop protection products. Tenkoz also does not offer value on lines that distributors need. For instance, Tenkoz shuns crop oils because their prices are very low such that no money would be made on them.
