How we measure up
A global leader
EuroChem is a world-leading agrochemical
company with low-cost natural resources and
production bases. These are supported by
wholly-owned logistics assets and a global
advisory, sales and distribution network.
Our ability to access lower cost raw materials
and energy, combined with a vertically
integrated business model provides us with
distinct cost advantages over many of our
competitors. Our significant investment
in major potash reserves will reinforce
our leadership position in global fertilizer
production when they come on stream
next year.
As one of the fastest growing fertilizer majors,
we aim to be a top five producer by nutrient
capacity by 2020.
Who we are and what we do
Our holding company – EuroChem Group
AG – is based in Zug, Switzerland. It operates
under Swiss law and financial regulations,
whereas the Group’s operational functions
fall under local jurisdictions.
Strategic advantages
• Access to low-cost, high-quality resources, including phosphate rock, hydrocarbons
and potash.

in addition to our standard lines.
• Global distribution network enables us to get the right product to the right place
at the right time.
• Investments in upstream supply (mainly potash and phosphate rock) provide
a clear path for growth.
2015 highlights
We manufacture high quality nitrogen and
phosphate fertilizers. Our range includes
standard and commodity products as well
