The Villa story began as Exportos in 1989.
Exportos was established to supply off-patent crop protection products to the South African market. In 1994, the Exportos team realised the need of South African distributors (dealers) to source alternative, cost-effective sources of generic products.
Concurrently, dealers who were affiliated to Ciba-Geigy expressed a desire to collectively purchase supplementary products.
The result was the formation of a company called Commodochem, in which the above dealerships had 80% shareholding, with Exportos taking a 20% share block. The next significant event in the history of Villa Crop Protection was the merger between Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz in 1996. This resulted in additional dealerships (ex Sandoz) joining the group and a name change from Commodochem to Travon.
Due to the restructuring of the Bayer distribution network, dealerships with a primary Bayer affiliation joined Travon in 1998, and the rapidly-growing entity then assumed the name Villa Crop Protection
