Adama Agriculture Swiss Ag
ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG is a Swiss stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) entered in the Swiss Commercial Register under UID CHE-114.659.950, with its registered seat at Spitalstrasse 5, 8200 Schaffhausen, in the Canton of Schaffhausen. Commercial-register records indicate the company was founded on 7 January 2009 under the name Makhteshim Agan Switzerland AG; the 1 January 2009 incorporation date shown on this profile’s information card is a rounded system default rather than the precise registration date, which register-sourced company data places at 7 January 2009. The company adopted its current name in line with the 2014 global rebranding of Makhteshim Agan Industries as ADAMA. Its registered purpose is the distribution of phytosanitary (plant-protection) products, including the registration and regulatory approval of such products in Switzerland, for its own account or on behalf of third parties, consistent with a role as a national product-registration and distribution office for crop-protection products marketed under the ADAMA brand rather than a manufacturing site. The company’s status on the Swiss Commercial Register is active, and its registered share capital is CHF 100,000. No dedicated corporate website is on file for this Swiss entity; product and regulatory information for the Swiss market is published through ADAMA’s global website.

ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG operates under the ADAMA corporate name, and its registered business purpose is consistent with operation as a subsidiary distribution office within the wider ADAMA group (see Group structure).

Parent-level context
At the group level, the ultimate listed parent of the wider ADAMA group, ADAMA Ltd (Shenzhen Stock Exchange: 000553 / 200553), is described in its own annual report and investor-relations disclosures as controlled by Syngenta Group, which is in turn ultimately controlled by Sinochem Holdings, a Chinese state-owned enterprise, following the 2021 combination of China National Chemical Corporation (ChemChina) and Sinochem Group. This is parent-level context describing control of the listed group parent; it is not a shareholder or ownership-percentage disclosure for ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG itself, and no entity-specific percentage is presented.
Data availability
Shareholder information for ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG is classified as Not public: Swiss law does not require a private AG to file a public shareholder register, and no beneficial-ownership disclosure specific to this entity was located.

Group Structure
Group structure of ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG
ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG operates under the ADAMA corporate name, and its registered business purpose, distribution and regulatory registration of phytosanitary products for its own account or for the benefit of third parties, is consistent with a role as ADAMA’s Swiss product-registration and distribution subsidiary. However, the Swiss commercial register does not name an immediate parent company for this entity, and no filing specific to ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG confirming its direct shareholder or immediate parent was located; this relationship is therefore not presented as verified at the entity level.
At the ultimate level, the wider ADAMA group is headed by ADAMA Ltd, a crop-protection company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (A shares: 000553; B shares: 200553), formerly Hubei Sanonda Co., Ltd. before a 2017 reverse-merger listing of ADAMA’s operating business. Per ADAMA Ltd’s own annual report and investor-relations disclosures, ADAMA Ltd is controlled by Syngenta Group, and Syngenta Group is in turn ultimately controlled by Sinochem Holdings, a Chinese state-owned enterprise, following the 2021 combination of China National Chemical Corporation (ChemChina) and Sinochem Group under Sinochem Holdings. This describes control of the ultimate listed group parent and is presented as parent-level context rather than an entity-specific corporate-linkage filing for ADAMA Agriculture Swiss AG.
