Production Start
Tessenderlo Group has commenced production at its new liquid fertilizer plant in Rouen, France. The facility is now producing Thio-Sul® (ammonium thiosulfate/ATS), which is used for broad-acre crops, arboricultural, and vegetable crop cultivation. The first products have already been shipped to customers.
Timeline and Collaboration
The plant became operational just one year after breaking ground, thanks to the collaboration between French and American teams from Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc. in Phoenix, USA. This rapid development marks a significant milestone as it is the group's first Thio-Sul® plant outside the United States.
Employment and Market Reach
The new facility employs approximately 20 people and aims to enhance Tessenderlo Group's presence in the liquid fertilizer market for precision agriculture. It will serve both European and overseas markets, improving proximity to end customers and strengthening the company's position in the broad-acre crops market.
