ABOUT US
WHAT IS IMFO ?
The International Maritime Fumigation Organization came into existence because marine fumigation, or fumigation continued in transit, is several times more complex than what we know as classic inland fumigation of silos and all kinds of static premises.
WHY CHOOSING TO BE A IMFO MEMBER ?
The objectives are
To develop common and improved standards of efficacy and safety for marine fumigation.
To develop an international group of independent companies that would enable its members to provide the option of guaranteed fumigation to their customers, by controlling the fumigation at both load and discharge port.
We are proud to be able to say that we can provide unrivalled expertise and know-how, together with value for money fumigation in most parts of the world.
Whether your requirement is for an individual treatment or a group contract, just contact your local IMFO member or our head office in Argentina, and we will be pleased to attend to your needs.

The intention to act on a worldwide basis.
The organisation exceeded the bounds of Western Europe on the second year of its existence having admitted 3 new members from Latin America and the USA.
The organisation started growing.
IMFO came to Asia and Africa granting membership to fumigation companies in India and South Africa. The same year Canada joined the Group. Later on New Zealand and Ukraine followed.
