Helping Others



 
FMC Corporation Donates $75,000 to Philippines Typhoon Relief Efforts through the American Red Cross to support ongoing recovery efforts in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.  FMC has seaweed processing operations in Cebu, Philippines, supporting its Health and Nutrition business, and an IT regional service center and business operations in Manila.


"We are all shocked and saddened at the devastation in the Philippines from the October earthquake and Typhoon Haiyan," said Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman.  "Although we are extremely grateful that all of our employees throughout the Philippines are safe, we know that the storm's impact across the country has displaced families, impacted food supplies and damaged telecommunications infrastructure. Our thoughts are with the Philippine people during this very difficult time, and we hope these funds assist with critical recovery efforts."




I am so proud to be an employee of FMC Corporation!

What does FMC stand for?




I am often asked, “What does FMC stand for?” Well, here is the story behind our brand.
“FMC was founded in 1883 and was originally known as the Bean Spray Pump Company, named after John Bean who developed the first piston pump insecticide sprayer. Success followed and, after acquiring another company, the named was changed to Food Machinery Corporation, which soon became Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation and eventually became known as FMC Corporation.” (www.fmccrop.com)

What does it really mean to build a brand? I think it means having all of your employees excited and engaged with the products or services they sell. I think it means development of social media advancement, communications, marketing initiatives, and network relationships. FMC is the fastest growing company in our industry, and I know we will continue to pursue building our brand name to reach as many people as possible.

Marketing Associate

Since my last post I have moved 1,100 miles away from home to live in the great city of Philadelphia, PA. I am a new Marketing Associate with FMC Corporation! I will be working specifically with segment planning, social media advancement, and communications. I am very excited to begin what will hopefully be a life-long career with this company. I miss the southern region, but I am so appreciative of all that I learned during my sales internship experience. My goal for this new position is to learn as much about business strategy, marketing analysis, and product development as possible.

Happy Tuesday!
