Agchem Project Consulting acquired by Staphyt

Agchem joins Staphyt to expand agroscience regulatory services

In May 2018, Agchem Project Consulting (APC) officially became part of the Staphyt Group, significantly enhancing regulatory services for companies dealing with agrochemicals, biocides, and chemicals. This strategic move strengthens both firms' capabilities, ensuring clients receive comprehensive support for regulatory compliance and risk assessment.

A Legacy of Excellence

Founded by Steve Shires in 2001, APC has built a strong reputation as a trusted regulatory consulting firm. With 23 employees and a global network of consultants, APC has provided tailored regulatory solutions to businesses worldwide. Their expertise in navigating complex regulations has made them a leader in the industry.

A Powerful Partnership

The merger of APC with Staphyt creates a dynamic synergy between two established regulatory powerhouses.

Staphyt, a company known for its extensive presence across Europe, North Africa, and Brazil, employs over 700 professionals specializing in agrosciences field experimentation, laboratory testing, regulatory advice, and registration dossier management.

By joining forces, both companies expand their capabilities to offer even more comprehensive services to clients.

Two Independent Yet Complementary Units

Following the merger, Staphyt has introduced two independent but complementary Business Units: APC and Staphyt Regulatory.

This structure ensures that APC maintains its brand identity, staff, and technical organization while benefiting from the resources and expertise of the broader Staphyt Group. Clients can continue to rely on APC's established relationships and expertise, with the added advantage of Staphyt’s extensive global reach.

Expanding Capabilities and Global Reach

With this acquisition, Staphyt Group now boasts:

  • More than 60 regulatory and scientific specialists covering all aspects of chemical risk assessment

  • Regulatory offices in eight countries

  • A global network of over 70 consultants, offering support for national, European, and international registrations

  • High-quality service driven by expertise, commitment, and responsiveness.

A Step Forward for Regulatory Services

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both APC and Staphyt, positioning them to better meet the evolving needs of their clients.

By combining resources and expertise, the partnership enables them to take on larger regulatory and study programs, ensuring an unparalleled level of service in the industry.
