Bayer CropScience has agreed to sell its manufacturing site in Norwich, England, to the private equity firm Aurelius for an undisclosed sum. The plant employs about 260 people involved in making and formulating crop protection products and specialty chemicals.

Aurelius says it will build a wastewater treatment plant and a multiproduct facility at the Norwich site.
