Cinis Fertilizer reveals plans for fertilizer plant overhaul

The decision will allow for the implementation of technical improvements in the production facility to increase production capacity and stability from current levels, in a period when raw material and finished goods market movements impact company’s profitability negatively.

The company is currently focused on three topics: reducing cost of the purchased input material, increasing capacity and stability of production of potassium sulfate, and improving finished goods prices. Lower market demand and prices of the finished products combined with increasing raw material prices during autumn are negatively impacting Cinis Fertilizer’s profitability.

The simultaneous need for a longer production halt to carry out the more demanding technical installations aiming to increase production capacity and stability has led to the decision to suspend production starting from mid of November for an expected period of 4 - 6 weeks. The planned technical improvements include increasing cooling capacity for better production stability and increased production volumes, and installation of a filter system to reduce emissions of dust particles that improves the working environment.

“This is good timing to conduct plant improvements given the seasonality of fertilizer market. A short stop of production provides an opportunity for us to concentrate on implementing planned improvement measures with our own staff and external parties. This overhaul has been carefully planned in order to ensure minimum disruption in the supply of our product,” said Jakob Liedberg, CEO and founder of Cinis Fertilizer AB.
