Celebrating our 40th anniversary with ‘Growing Together’ theme.

February 3rd marks the fortieth anniversary of Exacto®, Inc, an innovative turnkey chemical manufacturer with roots in agriculture, turf and ornamental, and industrial vegetation management sectors. Since its inception, Exacto has grown from a small adjuvant manufacturer to an international full-service company offering technologically advanced, private-label chemicals.

“40 years ago, Exacto started as a small, humble business.  Like other enduring iconic companies, Exacto literally began in a garage and expanded over many years to serve customers around the world.  Along the way, Exacto has overcome many challenges and experienced success through the commitment and vision of owner Kenny Cox and key tenured staff like Frank Sexton and others.  Building on a foundational commitment to innovation and private-label manufacturing, Exacto continues to provide customers with the highest quality adjuvants and services to help them grow their businesses,” said Wally Beecroft, CEO of Exacto, Inc. “This anniversary is an excellent moment to underscore Exacto’s distinctive approach and commitment to provide products and services to customers that ultimately enable the sustainable stewardship of vital natural resources to meet the rapidly growing demands of current and future generations. We have a great team in place that enables us to grow together with our customers.” 

Over the years, Exacto has helped its strategic partners build their adjuvant brands with in-house research and development, flexible operations, full-service marketing concepts, and an entire contract research organization focused on the goal of expanding their business outside of traditional means. All these services help support Exacto’s mission to empower the supply chain with advanced product solutions to operate successfully and sustainably. Exacto’s culture is built on its CORE values, standing for Care, Opportunity, Respect, and Excellence. Those are integrated into everything Exacto does and helped to create a team that excels.

Is Herbicide Resistance the Only Cause of Poor Weed Control?

Failed weed control may resemble herbicide resistance, but it’s not always the culprit. Recent cases of HPPD-inhibitor (group 27) herbicide failures have shown that certain application errors are more common culprits than resistance. This research shows ways to overcome these application challenges.
