About FCM Global
FCM Global S.A.S. produces cannabis oils, extracts and isolates using its “Co-Sourced Colombia” model to reliably deliver lower production costs and high-quality inputs for domestics and international markets in the nutritional, wellness, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors.
FCM production facilities located in Antioquia and Tolima follow GAP and GMP practices. The 238,800 ft2 FCM Antioquia facility is purpose-built for medical cannabis and the Tolima facility is an extended production facility which covers 474 hectares and will ultimately generate more than 2,300 jobs and 1,000+ tons of cannabis oil per year at full capacity. This will provide customers with the best and most consistent quality products with lower production cost at large scale.
