This is QMEA.
Chemical innovation rarely fails because of a single step. It fails when development and production are treated as separate processes. QMEA brings these disciplines together in one coordinated approach, ensuring that innovations are not only technically feasible, but also scalable and reliable in practice. As a co-maker and development partner, we connect the right people, partners and capabilities to transform complex chemical challenges into practical, long-term results.
- 30+ years of experience across development, production and international supply
- Global presence across Europe, China, India and the United States
- Experience across multiple industries and application areas
- Built on IGM Pharmachem, formerly the non-UV division of IGM Resins B.V.

Co-making in practice.
QMEA takes a structured approach to project execution, connecting development, production and supply into one coordinated process. By aligning technical, commercial and operational requirements from the outset, we help create solutions that are practical, scalable and reliable in the long term.
- Structuring development and scale-up trajectories from lab to commercial production
- Connecting R&D, manufacturing and supply partners within one coordinated process
- Translating technical and application requirements into production-ready processes
- Organizing and managing supply for reliable, long-term delivery
- Ensuring compliance with REACH and other applicable regulations throughout the process

What drives our work.
How we work is shaped by a clear set of values. They guide the way we engage with customers, the partners we choose and the projects we take on. Together they define what it means to work with QMEA.
Deep knowledge. Smarter decisions
By understanding the technical details, we turn complexity into clear, confident and value-driven decisions.
Entrepreneurial and hands-on
We see opportunities where others see obstacles. Short decision lines, direct involvement and the willingness to act make complex projects move forward.
Reliable, honest and transparent
We deliver on what we promise, and we are open about what is and isn't possible. No surprises, no hidden agendas, just clear communication throughout the project.
Possibility over limitation
Where others stop at "not available" or "not standard", we look for the route that makes it happen. Flexible, solution-oriented and always focused on what can be done.
The story behind QMEA.
QMEA was established in 2015 and significantly expanded its position in 2019 with the acquisition of IGM Pharmachem, the non-UV business activity of IGM Resins B.V., founded in 1999. The acquisition brought all employees, expertise and ongoing business into QMEA, adding decades of pharmaceutical and specialty chemicals experience. Together, these combined backgrounds represent more than 30 years of experience in chemical development, production and international supply.
At the same time, QMEA operates as an independent and agile organization. Short decision-making lines and a customer-focused approach allow projects to move quickly and pragmatically. This enables QMEA to act as a hands-on partner in both development and supply.

Sustainable and responsible approach.
Sustainability is integrated into the way QMEA operates, from partner selection and product development to supply chain design. We work with qualified partners that meet defined standards and align with regulatory and market requirements, supported by recognized frameworks such as REACH, ISO 9001 and EcoVadis. This provides a strong foundation for transparency, consistent quality and continuous improvement.
We also help customers make more sustainable material choices through alternative ingredients and tailor-made solutions. By balancing sustainability ambitions with performance, reliability and continuity of supply, we help customers make choices that are both responsible and commercially viable.
