Sakata Seed America has initiated plans to relocate its headquarters, including all operations and personnel functions, to its 219-acre site in Woodland, California, by late 2024. The company has been operating its North American headquarters in Morgan Hill, California, since 1988. The planned relocation to the Woodland Innovation Center will follow the second phase of an infrastructure expansion project there.
The Woodland facility opened in 2018, when phase one of the building project was completed. This phase featured 16 acres of operational facilities, including greenhouses and a 25,000-square-foot warehouse with the latest technology in seed processing equipment. The Woodland site also has ample farmland to host Sakata’s annual California Field Days event and serve as a permanent trialing location for the company’s breeding programs and research and development department.
