About Us

We are increasing the efficiency of current production facilities through numerous steps, including the use of secondary and renewable energy resources and implementing organizational changes and technological advances. New facilities are designed using the most modern industrial technologies available to achieve higher energy efficiency. OJSC NIUIF – our specialized high-competence industry research institute – plays an important and active role in ensuring technological innovation for the company’s operations. All modernization projects carried out following the work provided by OJSC NIUIF have delivered on the targeted results. The use of high-capacity mining equipment, new technical solutions in the transportation of ore and the handling of overburden have improved the productivity of mining operations. Stable and consistent production is achieved through the use of modern equipment and technologies to control and automate production processes.

The Group's short-term strategy focuses on optimising the Group's profit margins.  In order to achieve this objective, the Group plans to implement several initiatives including modernisation and expansion of some of its production facilities to further improve flexibility, construction of a new urea plant and a new electricity power plant and increasing its railcar fleet.

The Group's key long-term strategic objectives are to reinforce its position as a global leading integrated producer of fertilisers and to enhance overall value for its shareholders. To achieve these objectives, the Group intends to pursue the following long-term strategies: 

• Increase fertiliser and feed phosphate production capacities;
• Utilise full potential of apatite-nepheline ore through increased production of nepheline concentrate and extraction of rare earth minerals;
• Continue to improve operational flexibility and efficiency; and
• Diversify product portfolio towards industrial phosphates commencing with the production of purified phosphoric acids.
