Agricultural Chemicals (M) Sdn. Bhd.

Agricultural Chemicals (M) Sdn. Bhd. (ACM) was established in 1969 and located in Penang, Malaysia. It is a Japanese-Malaysian joint-venture company. Current shareholders are Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd., Marubeni Corporation and Pertubuhan Peladang Kebangsaan (NAFAS). From its core business as a pesticides formulator, ACM has grown into a leading industry player for agrochemicals, farm machinery and environmental health products. Apart from manufacturing facilities at headquarters in Perai, Penang, ACM's very own 62-acre Selama Research Centre (SRC) was set up in 1978 in Selama, Kedah. Located approximately one hour's drive from ACM HQ, SRC has a wide range of tropical crops such as paddy, vegetables, oil palm, rubber, ornamental plants, pineapple, fruit trees and other short-term crops, planted for research purposes. Backed by over 4 decades of manufacturing and marketing expertise, ACM is equipped to formulate and distribute a comprehensive range of products needed in food production and environmental health, both for the domestic and overseas markets. ACM is the main distributor in Malaysia and South East Asia for world renowned brands of extensive, quality and cost-efficient farm machinery, such as Japan's MARUYAMA and Brazil's JACTO. Aside from selling these power sprayers and fertiliser applicators, ACM also embarks on designing and developing its own brand of farm equipment to meet local crop requirement and planting practices. Its patented STROBIPIPE, a precision granular broadcaster, is making headway into rice and kenaf estates by contributing towards increased efficiency and productivity.
