Fontarome Chemical was established in 1978 in Grasse, France as a manufacturer of fine chemicals for the flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical markets. Its original founders were experienced chemists and chemical engineers from some of Europe?s largest pharmaceutical companies. Consequently, this strong foundation in fine chemical manufacturing became the basis for expansion into the US with the Milwaukee facility, now the worldwide headquarters. With sales to over 60 countries Fontarome prides itself on several tangible competitive advantages, including its breadth of chemistry experience, manufacturing locations in lower cost areas of the US and France, sleek process design, and its use of large scale production glassware. The company is built around a philosophy of delivering low cost, high quality products.
