Gowan Company continues to build on its long-standing relationship with potato growers while expanding its global footprint. Speaking during Potato Expo, Gowan Company Northwest Sales Representative Kayley Jacobson said the family-owned company has grown significantly since its founding in 1962. “They’re not the tiny little Gowan that most potato farmers know back from 30 years ago,” said Jacobson. “We have spread nationwide now, we’re adding more people, we have spread overseas, opening new branches, and it feels like a small company that’s doing big things.” Jacobson said Gowan’s strength in the potato industry comes from refining proven products while developing new tools to address region-specific challenges. “Products like Eptam and Sonalan have been around for over 30 years, and we’re still finding new ways to reinvent them and keep them fresh, helping growers with the problems they’re facing.”
