Vylor
Vylor is the former seed business of Corteva, spun off in October 2026: it breeds and sells corn, soybean and other seeds under brands like Pioneer and Brevant and licenses its traits to other seed companies in more than 70 countries.
A 100-year-old seed business that just became a new company.
Pioneer was founded in 1926; Vylor is how it trades on its own again after DuPont, DowDuPont and Corteva.
