BUSINESS
Bend, Oregon-headquartered biological pest control company, wholly owned by The Wonderful Company, the $6B private agribusiness controlled by the Resnick family. Suterra is a leader in pheromone-based mating disruption products for agricultural and commercial pest control, primarily by chemical synthesis. In May 2026 Suterra acquired the product lines, active ingredients, and R&D pipeline of Vestaron Corporation, adding the EPA-approved peptide bioinsecticides SPEAR® LEP and BASIN™ to its portfolio.
BIOTECH INVOLVEMENT
Industrial-scale synthetic chemistry for insect pheromone active ingredients. Through the 2026 Vestaron acquisition, Suterra adds recombinant peptide-based bioinsecticide active ingredients to its portfolio; Suterra has stated it plans to begin manufacturing its own branded SPEAR® LEP product later in 2026, which will require either internal recombinant peptide production capability or continued CDMO partnership (Vestaron's existing ADM relationship).
