Unternehmensprofil von GAT Microencapsulation AG

GAT Microencapsulation AG is an agrochemical company specializing in the development, registration and manufacture of advanced plant protection products. These products are based on GAT’s proprietary formulation technologies.

GAT was founded in 1999 by a group of highly specialized scientists to provide formulation development and analytical services to the industry.

After a few years of encouraging growth GAT established state of the art laboratories (GLP) and manufacturing facilities. In 2004, GAT Microencapsulation AG started industrial manufacturing of high quality agrochemical products.

Since its inception, GAT has established itself as a leader in the development of advanced formulation technology for generic active ingredients and at the same time has concurrently developed the requisite capability to both develop Intellectual Property (IP) and obtain Registrations. It has also developed the manufacturing capacity to bring to market advanced formulations of such generic products.

Among other formulations GAT has developed innovative and cost-effective technologies for the formulation of agrochemicals, most notably MICROENCAPSULATIONS and OIL DISPERSIONS. The company’s IP in these technologies is based upon a complex combination of 9 international patents.

Going forward, GAT will use its technological expertise and IP position to further improve the properties of its agro-generic products. The Company will move from being a provider of technologically advanced agro-generics to being a provider of proprietary, IP-protected agrochemical products with superior properties. In doing so, GAT will continue to increase the safety and efficacy of its products, their environmental sustainability and create additional value for its partners.

GAT is currently formed by a team of 50 young people of 17 nationalities with different chemical and biological expertise. The Company is led by a management team with more than 60 years experience in formulation technology, product development, registration and marketing and sales in the agrochemical industry.

At the marketing level, GAT works with partners with well established distribution channels and recognized regional service teams in Europe, South America, USA and Asia. GAT has built a network of suppliers and customers in these regions of the world, some of them long-standing partners to ensure the long-term and stable supply of excellent top quality products.
