BOSTON, November 20, 2024 – Bowen is excited to announce that BW Fusion, a leading agricultural biological and soil nutrition company, has completed a growth equity transaction with Bain Capital Double Impact, the impact investing arm of Bain Capital.
As part of the transaction, BW Fusion, an innovator in agricultural crop and soil nutrition, Biodyne, an environmental microbiology company, and Agronomy 365, a tech-enabled crop analytics and management program, have merged. Prior to the transaction, the three companies had a well-established history of collaboration. Bowen acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to the selling parties in the transaction.
BW Fusion manufactures and distributes an innovative range of biological and nutritional products that deliver immediate and measurable ROI to farmers. The combined entity will continue to support farmers throughout the growing cycle, accelerating the production of innovative, sustainable crop inputs that enhance yield while reducing environmental impact.
“Biologics have long held the promise of a major agricultural industry transformation toward soil health and sustainability. The remarkable and profitable growth of BW Fusion over the last five years, culminating in these transactions, marks a milestone in the acceptance of biologics in mainstream agriculture,” said Bob Fleming, Bowen Managing Director. “With no outside capital, BW Fusion has built a fantastic business, proving that sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive goals for farmers.”
“This transaction underscores a significant trend in the agricultural sector, reflecting the growing shift towards sustainable practices,” said Paul Bowen, Founder and CEO at Bowen. “At Bowen, we are dedicated to supporting companies that are at the forefront of sustainable and regenerative initiatives. We are at a tipping point where investor demand for scalable, sustainable companies is rapidly rising.
