Fertiglobe - 24 - About Us - History

History

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi and incorporated in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Fertiglobe was formed as a strategic partnership between OCI Global and ADNOC in September 2019.

The company’s history is built on OCI Global and ADNOC’s MENA fertilizer businesses. OCI Global first entered the nitrogen fertilizer business in 2005 by constructing and acquiring a 30% stake in Egypt Basic Industries Corporation (EBIC). By 2019, OCI Global’s MENA fertilizer platform also included 100% of Egyptian Fertilizers Company (EFC), 51% of Sorfert Algérie, and a 60% share in EBIC, forming one of the region’s largest export platforms.

Fertil was established in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi in 1980 as a joint venture between ADNOC (66%) and Total (33%) and became operational three years later, producing ammonia and urea. ADNOC acquired Total’s stake in 2018, making Fertil 100% owned by ADNOC. In 2019, Fertiglobe was established as a strategic partnership between OCI Global and ADNOC.

In 2021, Fertiglobe marked a significant milestone with a landmark IPO on the ADX and acquired an additional 15% in EBIC.

In 2023, ADNOC announced the purchase of OCI’s 50% stake in Fertiglobe for $3.62 billion, with the transaction expected to complete in 2024.

In October 2024 ADNOC completed the acquisition of majority stake in Fertiglobe.

A tradition of excellence.
