The company addresses the challenges of our time by continuously developing its products, investing in production plants and reinvesting a major part of the profits. The aim is to provide state-of-the-art products and ongoing consultancy for farmers, enabling them to achieve higher crop yields and extra income through modern and environment-friendly farming practices that are sustainable in the long term. Starting in 2004, the plant underwent a complete reconstruction, leading to the renewal of the entire company. The EUR 460 million investment project included the enlargement of the ammonia plant and the launch of the new granulating plant and the related automatic packing plant, as well as the completion of another nitric acid plant, a dolomite grinding plant and a neutralising plant. Environment protection was given priority also in the case of the production plants. It is supported through compliance with strict safety standards and the use of cutting-edge technologies. Under the Product Stewardship Programme of Fertilizers Europe, Nitrogénmuvek Zrt. has committed itself to the highest level of safety, health and environmental quality in the field of production and distribution.
The secret to the success of Nitrogénmuvek Zrt. lies in its several decades of experience, extensive business network, excellent team of professionals and products of outstanding quality. Its major trademark, patented on 28 June 1932, is CAN with a total active substance content of 39%, available both in prilled and granulated format. In the nitrogen of CAN, produced with state-of-the-art technology, the slow-effect ammonium-nitrogen and the quick-effect nitrate-nitrogen are present in the same proportions, making it ideal both as a base and top dressing. The finely ground and readily absorabable dolomite content, supplied from domestic mines, decreases soil acidity and therefore it is particularly recommended, as a basic tool in sustainable farming, for the treatment of acidic soils. In addition to CAN, the group manufactures and distributes all other types of fertilisers used in modern nutrient management. In 2003, the company united its fertiliser products under the Genezis brand.
Annual Report 2020
Although Hungary has a high proportion of arable land in comparison to the European average, the volume of nitrogen fertilisers applied is still significantly lower than in Western Europe.
According to forecasts by international analysts, the use of nitrogen as an active substance in Central and Eastern European agriculture will increasingly approach the level of Western Europe in the years to come.
