AGROTAIN International Opens Two New Fertilizer Facilities
2 September 2008 According to a company press release, AGROTAIN International will open its new Stabilized Nitrogen Center and new St. Louis Urea Center on September 16. These two new facilities represent the largest inland US urea import terminal, and the US’s first phase-modifying urea manufacturing plant.
Mike Stegmann, President of AGROTAIN International’s parent company Lange-Stegmann Company, says the more than $20 million investment in the two facilities was driven by a combination of skyrocketing demand and a strong history of partnership with their customers.
Because they are strategically located on a section of the Mississippi River that is lock- and ice-free, both facilities ensure year-round access to and from the country’s agricultural heartland by road, rail, and river transport. The Urea Center has a massive storage capacity of 63,000 tons with the ability to turn over its inventory four times a month. The Stabilized Nitrogen Center implements a one-of-a-kind process of phase modification that takes the basic nitrogen commodity and transforms it into an enhanced efficiency nitrogen source.
AGROTAIN International and Lange-Stegmann have invited thousands of representatives from the local, national, and international agriculture industry – as well as a number of government officials – to attend the grand opening on Tuesday, Sept. 16. However, the event is open to all farmers, retailers and related agribusinesses. Anyone interested in attending is invited to RSVP at http://www.UreaCenterTour.com.
