Pioneer Hi-Bred Name Changes to DuPont Pioneer

DuPont’s seed-producing subsidiary has changed from Pioneer Hi-Bred to DuPont Pioneer, effective July 1.

DuPont Pioneer is an important element in extending DuPont's efforts in the agricultural and food industries. The change in the name reflects a joint mission to find solutions to ensure that the world's growing population has enough food. The new DuPont Pioneer name reflects this joint commitment, allowing DuPont and Pioneer to work closer together, strengthening their alignment publicly. The DuPont Pioneer goal remains the same - to provide the best products, services and information to help growers get the highest return on every acre they farm.

There will be minor changes to Pioneer’s logo to reflect the name change; however, there will not be any structural changes to Pioneer, which is headquartered outside Des Moines, Iowa. DuPont is headquartered in Delaware.
