History

The factory commenced production of ammonium sulfate in 1947, at the dawn of Indian independence using wood as the raw material for production of ammonia. With the effect of time, wood gasification became uneconomic and was replaced with naphtha reforming process. Through a series of expansion programmes, FACT soon became the producer of a wide range of fertilizers for all crops and all soil types in India. It became a Kerala State public sector enterprise in 1960 and in 1962, it came under the Government of India. The consultancy unit known as FACT Engineering and Design Organisation (FEDO) was set up in 1965 and has since diversified into chemicals, petrochemicals, hydrometallurgy, pharmaceuticals and other areas. The fabrication division, FACT Engineering works (FEW) was established in 1966. FACT has formed a joint venture company with Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited, named FRBL (FACT RCF Building Products Ltd) for manufacturing load-bearing panels and other building products using phosphogypsum.[1]
