Fine Chemicals
Fine chemicals are complex chemical substances produced in relatively small volumes through multistep chemical, biochemical, or biotechnological processes, and used as key ingredients in high-value applications across a wide range of sectors.
FAME is a EFCG committee that represents the European Producers and Custom Manufacturers of Agrochemical active ingredients and intermediates for ISO regulated fine chemicals.
Our members create value through sustainable competitiveness, growth and the promotion of responsible global environmental performance.
Our Objectives
Set the quality benchmark
Promote European high-quality standards across the sector.
Promote the European identity
And the production excellence behind it.
Ensure responsible processes
Safe, sustainable and responsible — by design.
Build joint positions
With the value chain on current and upcoming legislations, ensuring uniform implementation throughout Europe.
Lead standard-setting
Drive the manufacturing standard-setting process and monitor global emerging regulations.
Build a global network
Through cooperation with industry associations and events such as the Fine Chemicals Forum.
Our Values

Our Activities
FAME members are fine chemical companies, mostly supplying customers from a wide range of industries, such as crop protection, pharmaceuticals, nutrition & health, energy & electronics, personal care, and others.
The molecules our members produce are the essential building blocks – intermediates or active ingredients- that help deliver the essential and optimal performance of the final active product in agrochemicals, for example ensuring increased farming yields and preventing plant and livestock diseases in agrochemicals.
These building blocks are developed and produced using cutting edge technology and according to highly technical specifications. They are often tailor-made and produced at relatively small volumes by our members who can deliver the specific chemical technology needed by the larger multinationals.
In addition, FAME members are crucial manufacturing partners for various industries such as automotive, polymer, paints and coatings. With our high-quality approach, we contribute positively to these industries’ premium products.
