18 Feb INCRO: 50 Years of Innovation in Fertilizer Technology

Since its foundation in 1975, INCRO has led the development and transfer of technology for the fertilizer and explosives industry. Today, with a presence in more than 32 countries and over 150 licensed plants, we celebrate half a century of innovation.

Technological Evolution: Half a Century Transforming the Fertilizer Industry

Founded in 1975 to develop and license technologies in strategic sectors such as fertilizers and industrial wastewater, INCRO has followed a path of constant innovation that has consolidated its position as a global benchmark in the field of engineering.

Along this journey, the company has introduced solutions that have marked a turning point in the fertilizer industry. Among them stands out the Pipe Reactor, a revolutionary technology that increases production capacity, reduces energy consumption, and improves the physical quality of the product, achieving more uniform granules with lower moisture and greater hardness. All this with simple operation and minimal maintenance, translating into efficiency and savings for our customers.

Likewise, the mixed process Pre-neutralizer with Pipe Reactor provides unique flexibility to manufacture multiple grades of fertilizers—DAP, MAP, NPK—adapting to different combinations of raw materials and local conditions. This versatility turns our plants into true advanced production centers, capable of meeting the demands of a constantly evolving global market.

All this is integrated thanks to the constant renewal of technologies that enable 3D modeling of factories, streamlining the commissioning and design process. This advanced simulation capability ensures more precise planning, reduces time, and optimizes resources, reinforcing our commitment to operational excellence.

These innovations are complemented by optimized granulation systems that integrate steam, ammonia, and sulfuric acid to guarantee perfect particle size and superior performance, even in complex formulations. All under a sustainability-oriented approach, with technologies that minimize emissions, recover nutrients, and maximize energy efficiency.

Today, after five decades of activity, INCRO reaffirms its commitment to technical excellence, energy efficiency, and the circular economy, driving solutions that not only improve productivity but also contribute to more sustainable and competitive agriculture.

Global Impact

From its first plants in Spain to international megaprojects such as Ma’aden (Saudi Arabia), Coromandel (India), ETI Bakir (Turkey), Fosfertil (Brazil), INCRO has demonstrated its ability to design tailor-made solutions adapted to any combination of raw materials and local conditions.
