Chemical products trade

vegyiAs the only nitrogen fertiliser producer in Hungary, Nitrogénművek Zrt. has been at the service of agriculture for more than 80 years; its core activity is fertiliser production but, for technological reasons, its products manufactured as its own raw materials or generated as by-products are widely used by the industry as well. The main products, which include ammonia, nitric acid, sal ammoniac, argon, nitrogen and urea without surface treatment, are sold by the Chemical Products Trade Unit. Due to the many possible uses of these products, our partners include Hungary’s major chemical companies, food and pharmaceutical enterprises and multinational corporations involved in the trade of industrial gases and chemical products, as well as many domestic private entrepreneurs; we are also keen to build our foreign trade relations.
