home Products Crops Services Where we are Technical assistance About us Homepage On May 19, 1987, the company Dupocsa Protectores Químicos para el Campo SA is founded. The strategic location of Ecuador, being geographically located in the middle of Latin America, and the maritime port of Guayaquil, the largest in the country, make our plant located In Durán, have easy access to imports of necessary raw materials, as well as for the export of your finished products. Initially, the company operated in a rented plant on the Daule road, and from 1990 it moved to its own facilities in the Canton of Duran. The first product synthesized in the country was propanil, a selective herbicide for rice. With the Propanex® and Supernox® brands, Crystal is gaining a foothold in the Ecuadorian market by offering a propanil that does not “burn” rice, as other high-solvent propanils do. Starting in 1992, the plant began the synthesis of glyphosate, being one of the first Latin American companies to do so. With the Glifonox® and Rondo® brands, our glyphosate is sold in 7 Latin American countries, reaching sales of over one and a half million liters. Crystal's product line continues to grow, currently featuring 54 active ingredients that are synthesized or formulated, plus a full line of foliar fertilizers. Our product portfolio includes herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, post-harvest products, adjuvants and foliar fertilizers for the main crops in the region. One of the characteristics that has differentiated us in the market has been having obtained on several occasions, the first registration in the country of a "generic" product, that is, a non-patent product. Such was the case of the herbicide quinclorac for rice, marketed under the trademark Fas-Nox®, the herbicide pendimethalin for rice, sugarcane and other crops, marketed under the trademark Crystal Pendi 400®, and the fungicide for banana, tridemorph, marketed under the Crystalmorph®, Calimorph®, Crystalixim® and Giltrimorph® brands, the latter owned by Gilmore Marketing Development. One of the important reasons for the success of our products has been the relationship maintained from the beginning with the company Crystal Chemical Inter America, of Houston, Texas. This company, founded in 1958 and with extensive experience in the synthesis and commercialization of agrochemicals, signed a licensing agreement with Crystal Chemical del Ecuador-Dupocsa for the synthesis, formulation and commercialization of products under the Crystal brands, for the markets of Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Our company has benefited from this relationship by having been able to count on state-of-the-art technology, technical support and a wide range of quality products that allowed it to enter export markets as of 1996, © Copyright - DUPOCSA. 2009 Conozca Crystal Chemical - DUPOCSA - Contáctenos Oficinas y planta: Km 1.5 Vía Durán Tambo, Ecuador.
