	The factory commenced production of ammonium sulphate in 1947 at the dawn of Indian independence using wood as the raw material for production of ammonia. With the effect of time, wood [[gasification]] became uneconomic and was replaced with naphtha reforming process. Through a series of expansion programmes, FACT soon became the producer of a wide range of fertilizers for all crops and all soil types in India. It became a Kerala State public sector enterprise in 1960 and in 1962, it came under the Government of India. Diversification to full-fledged engineering services(FEW)in the fertilizer field and allied areas followed. The next major step towards diversification was into petrochemicals.
