Today, the plant is one of the most important production sites for COMPO EXPERT products in Europe. The production focuses on the top fertilizer lines Floranid® Twin, NovaTec® and Blaukorn® from COMPO EXPERT.
It also produces coated fertilizers like Basacote® and liquid fertilizers like Basfoliar® or Vitanica®. The plant covers an area of around 18 hectares and is located in the Rhine port of Krefeld.
