excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Chemicals for Agriculture

FMC Corporation is an American global chemical manufacturing company. It primarily specializes in the production of agricultural chemicals, particularly those used for crop protection, and its product range includes insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Additionally, the company is involved in the health and nutrition sector, producing ingredients used in pharmaceuticals, food, and beverages.

The Bean Spray Pump Company

FMC has its roots in the California chemical industry. It was initially established as The Bean Spray Pump Company in 1883 in Los Gatos, California, by John Bean. The company's focus at this time was on producing insecticide sprayers. The company expanded and diversified over the early 20th century and a 1928 merger formed Food Machinery Corporation (FMC).

In the 1960s and 1970s, FMC further expanded its chemical operations, becoming a major producer of hydrogen peroxide, soda ash, and specialty chemicals. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, FMC underwent several restructurings to focus on its core chemical businesses. This included the spin-off of its machinery and equipment divisions and the sale of its defense business.

This division develops, markets, and sells all three major classes of crop protection chemicals: insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. These products are crucial for managing pest infestations, diseases, and weed control, thereby assisting farmers around the world in maximizing crop yields and quality while protecting them from various natural threats. FMC places a large focus on R&D, including the development of proprietary active ingredients and formulation technologies. Some other chemical companies offering products for similar applications include BASF, Bayer, and Nufarm.
