Introducing Vylor: Corteva Spinoff to Propel Agriculture Further
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (May 4, 2026) – Corteva (NYSE: CTVA) announced today that the company that will comprise its current advanced seed and genetics business, previously referred to as “SpinCo,” will be branded Vylor, Inc. Corteva’s planned separation remains on track for the fourth quarter of 2026.
With more than 4,000 germplasm patents and more than 2,000 biotechnology patents, Vylor’s innovation engine will be anchored in the industry’s most elite germplasm and transformative biotechnology, including a world-class pipeline that includes gamechangers like proprietary hybrid wheat, leadership in gene editing, multi-disease resistance corn and next-generation biofuels. The company will leverage its next generation scientific expertise to further strengthen its core business while exploring opportunities to expand to new row crops – and potentially beyond – to help farmers feed and fuel the world.
The new brand reflects this vision. For example, the stylized “l” in the brand represents the negative space formed by a single chromosome, reflecting the role genetics has played and will continue to play in advancing agriculture. The use of green, maroon and blue in its expanded color palette is a nod to its Pioneer, Brevant, Hoegemeyer and Corteva heritage. The name itself is derived from the word “valor,” honoring the valor of the generations of employees and farmers whose hard work helped feed the world. It’s also a nod to the mindset of the new company: vying for every opportunity.
