What FMF Group does

FMF Group is a privately held Argentine industrial services company headquartered in Salta, founded in 2014, operating through two subsidiaries: FMF Argentina S.R.L. (chemicals and logistics) and FMF Composites S.A. (FRP manufacturing). The group provides an integrated stack of services to mining and industrial clients, including the sale and transportation of industrial chemicals (sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, lime, calcium chloride, chlorine gas), specialized dangerous-goods trucking with a fleet of 30+ vehicles, NFPA 472-certified chemical emergency response, and on-site services such as settler module construction, tank installation, and plant decommissioning.

The company's manufacturing arm, FMF Composites, produces fiberglass-reinforced plastic (PRFV) tanks, cisternas, grating, profiles, cable trays, structural products, and torsion bars using the Filament Winding process, with tank capacities up to 150,000 liters and a stated 80-year service life. Premium raw materials are sourced through an exclusive Argentine commercial representation agreement with Turkish resin supplier Poliya. Manufacturing takes place in a 1,500 m² industrial facility in the General Güemes industrial park, complemented by a logistics hub in San Antonio de los Cobres for serving remote mining sites in the Lithium Triangle.

FMF generates revenue through hardware sales (chemicals, FRP tanks, structural products) and professional services (transportation, emergency response, on-site engineering, water treatment projects), selling primarily to enterprise mining operators (Rio Tinto, Livent, Ganfeng, Eramet, SSR Mining, Sales de Jujuy), energy companies (Pampa Energía, Pluspetrol, Refinor), chemical firms (InduQuimica), logistics providers (DHL), and agricultural processors (Ledesma, Tabacal). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct plant delivery; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company maintains ISO 9001 certification (2022) and Sedronar-RENPRE authorization for controlled chemical handling.
