ADAMA 10th Anniversary - It's our Birthday

Our Story !

Two sister companies, Makhteshim (1952) and Agan (1945), embarked on a journey to turn a knowledge of chemistry and Agrochemistry into Solutions that could help feed the growing population of Israel, in spite of a dearth of natural resources. Our local success evolved into a Vision to provide high quality, uncompromisingly effective crop protection products to farmers around the world. 

Both companies played vital roles in shaping Israel’s ground-breaking chemical and Agricultural industries and together they became an international powerhouse when they merged in 1997 to create Makhteshim Agan. With the launch of our Global brand in 2014, we became ADAMA.

Today, ADAMA is a member of the Syngenta Group, the world’s largest agricultural inputs company.

With each decade, we have extended our capabilities and grown into a global company, attracting valuable people, organizations and partners that contribute their individual culture and experience every day.
