FMC (NYSE:FMC) is a global leader in agricultural sciences offering innovative crop protection products and solutions. Originally founded in 1883 as the Bean Spray Pump Company, FMC evolved from an industrial machinery producer into a pure‐play agricultural solutions provider following a series of strategic divestitures and acquisitions. Today, the company is headquartered in Philadelphia and focuses on bringing sustainable chemistry to the fields of farmers in both developed and emerging markets.
The company’s core portfolio includes herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and plant health products designed to enhance yields and manage pest pressures across a wide range of crops. FMC has expanded its capabilities through biological technologies, leveraging microbial and natural‐based solutions alongside traditional synthetic chemistries. This dual approach allows the company to address evolving regulatory requirements and grower demand for integrated pest management strategies. FMC also serves institutional and professional markets by providing specialty products for turf, ornamental, and pest management applications.
Operating in more than 50 countries, FMC’s global footprint spans North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East/Africa. The company supports farmers and distributors through local research facilities, regional sales teams and technical service specialists, ensuring that customers receive tailored agronomic advice and product stewardship guidance. FMC’s network of manufacturing sites and research centers underpins its commitment to quality, safety and regulatory compliance across diverse agricultural landscapes.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Pierre Brondeau, FMC continues to invest in research and development to advance its next‐generation product pipeline. Brondeau, who joined FMC in 2014 and assumed the CEO role in 2018, has guided the company’s transformation toward increased innovation and sustainability.
