The Walt Disney Company
FAMA — Disney Authorized Manufacturer
What it covers
Facility-level authorization for Disney-branded production and handling.
Disney FAMA is not a general certification; it is a facility-specific authorization. Disney requires a completed FAMA application for each facility it intends to authorize, and Disney-branded products may not be produced or handled at that facility unless and until Disney issues a signed FAMA for it. The authorization applies to facilities and relevant subcontractors involved in producing, processing, finishing, assembling, or packaging Disney-branded products that contain Disney intellectual property.
Key requirements
- Separate FAMA application completed for each facility to be used
- Signed Disney authorization required before Disney-branded production or handling begins
- Facility and applicable subcontracting activity must be declared where relevant
- Only facilities in permitted sourcing countries may be authorized
- Supporting facility information and documentation reviewed by Disney
Operational value
Supports authorized facility use for Disney-branded programmes and cleaner licensed-product documentation.
How it is applied
