Chemia is a private company that has been working in the fine chemicals and agrochemicals industry since 1962. Production is carried out in two factories in Northern Italy, the main site located on the industrial estate of S.Agostino (Ferrara) and the other one in Gorizia.
Chemia specializes in the manufacturing of agrochemicals of all toxicological classes and of fertilizers for fertigation, soil and foliar nutrition. Chemia markets agrochemicals with its own brand and fertilizers under the Nutriland logo.
Chemia also is a well recognized toller, servicing as contract formulator for both agrochemical and fertilizer industry at international level.
Production involves synthesis and formulation. Fungicides, insecticides, herbicides are formulated as wettable powders, dust, emulsifiable concentrates, aqueous solutions, concentrated suspensions, micro-emulsions, micro/macro granules and water-dispersable microencapsulated products.
Specialty fertilizer range is manufactured as liquid, microgranular, soluble powder and paste forms. Each new product is designed with the aim to reduce the impact on the environment, the risks for the operator and, at the same time, to improve the efficacy of application also by covering, with such a large formulation portfolio, all practical market requirements.
Quality and Environment
|
Quality and Environment Chemia’s main goal comes from the constant pursuit for high quality standard of all its products and safety and environmental guidelines care followed in its plants: Chemia is certified UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 for Environmental Standards and regulation UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 for full compliance with international standards respectively. Continue improvement of safety in plants and facilities.

Research and Development
All formulated products are manufactured in Chemia plants based on original recipe developed by company own research. Chemia main purpose has always been crop protection and nutrition by improving its formulates both as safety profile and handling, in accordance with people safety and environmental care and regulations.
Particular attention is drawn to solvent-free products like aqueous suspensions (SC), microencapsulated products (MC), wettable powders in water-soluble sachets and micro-granular formulates. In 2002 Chemia developed a new "soft" formulation of Cyhexatin 500 g/l flowable "CITRAN 500 SC" miticide, specific and harmless to citrus fruits.
The phytotoxicity of Cyhexatin to citrus fruits is well known since long time but never solved before with traditional formulations.
Citran 500 SC has shown the same safe profile on grapefruit as well. Many trials are ongoing to test this innovative formulation on vegetables - expecially on melons - and other crops. For organic nutrition, Chemia has developed a range of fertilizers - "Nutriland"-, to be used for foliar application and fertigation. The product list includes plant biostimulators, aminoacids, humic acids and trace elements formulates. A new production plant site for micro-granular fertilizers with low environmental impact has been built. Distribution of microgranules to the crop is done at sowing and it is localized, in furrow, with substantial reduction of fertilizer amount, but maintaining high level of efficacy and speed of action due to the particular formulation.
For biological control of insect pests and parasites in agriculture Chemia markets pheromone traps and single specific pheromones useful for mass and monitor trapping system as well as to control stored food insects.
Quality Control
The Quality Control in Chemia represents a fundamental step in all production process and is carried out by our laboratory, controlling the product during the whole manufacturing route.
The laboratory is equipped with advanced analytical computerized devices providing great flexibility and speed in analysis results, allowing the simultaneous control of 7 production lines. Each step in the laboratory processing system is continuously monitored and certified.
Also careful check control is done for all raw materials delivered to the factories. To every production batch, before any shipping, the relevant certificate of analysis and material safety data sheet are prepared.
