Natick, MA – Dacon Corporation has completed the expansion of Kula Bio’s Technology and Development Center in Natick, which included the addition of new manufacturing, office, and laboratory spaces.
This marks Dacon’s second project with Kula Bio, a 6-year-old tough tech startup in the agricultural biologicals market. Kula Bio manufactures Kula-N, a non-GMO microbial product that serves as a replacement to synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, designed to enhance crop yield and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Bill Brady, Kula Bio’s CEO, stated, “We are not only addressing obstacles to sustainable practices, but also focusing on accessibility and affordability. Kula-N offers an organic, sustainable alternative that is cost-effective compared to synthetic fertilizers while enhancing crop productivity and performance.”
Kevin Quinn, Dacon’s CEO, added, “This expansion of Kula Bio’s production facilities enhances their innovative manufacturing processes and creates differentiated supply chains in the agriculture industry. Better soil quality equals better health. Their work in improving agricultural outcomes is important to all of us.”
In January of 2022, Kula Bio secured $50 million in Series A funding led by Lowercarbon Capital to build manufacturing facilities near key agricultural producers. This year, it was recognized as one of the Top Ten Organic Fertilizer Services Providers by Agri Business Review.
