Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced biotech company Vylor, a company spun off global agriculture technology leader Corteva, would invest $7 million to open its Global Corporate Business Center in Pennsylvania.
The future advanced seed and genetics company will be spun off from Corteva in the fourth quarter of this year. Officials with the company said it will create a minimum of 130 new high-paying jobs over the next five years. Shapiro said the state will spend $3.5 million on the project, which will be established in Southeast Pennsylvania. Vylor has also committed to operating in Pennsylvania for at least 15 years, and will invest at least $10 million in an existing Research and Development facility near New Holland, Pa.
