The company operates production facilities with design capacities of around 200,000 tonnes of ammonia, 372,000 tonnes of nitric acid, and 450,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate per year. It employs more than 2,000 people and maintains a strong position in both domestic and export markets across Europe, Asia, Africa, and neighboring countries, supported by its location with access to rail networks and Black Sea ports.
With operational roots dating to 1956 and earlier planning from 1947, the enterprise has a long history of fertilizer and chemical manufacturing. It emphasizes modern technologies, environmental compliance, and occupational safety. In 2023, it was acquired by a Georgian subsidiary of Singapore-based Indorama Corporation, becoming part of a global group focused on fertilizers, polymers, fibers, and related materials.
The company has participated in international environmental projects, including a tertiary N2O/NOx abatement retrofit at its nitric acid plant using Clariant catalyst technology, achieving significant emission reductions. It continues modernization efforts with financing from institutions such as the ADB and EBRD.
