Business Overview: SIBUR-Fertilizers, established in 2006 to develop SIBUR Hoding's fertiliser business, are now Russia’s third-largest nitrogen fertiliser producer. The Company’s business is to manufacture and market nitrogen fertilisers for agriculture, nitrogen products for industrial customers and caprolactam for the chemical industry. Nitrogen plant nutrients are the primary focus of SIBUR-Fertilizers’ business. The Company’s key markets are Europe and South-East Asia internationally, and industrial customers domestically. Unlike their major rivals in the Russian industry, SIBUR-Fertilizers focus their operations upon straight N-fertiliser products only.
Company Difference: SIBUR-Fertilizers are exceptionally well positioned to take advantage of nitrogen most attractive markets both inside the country and across its borders. The Company enjoys close proximity to the total of Russian biggest industrial customers and benefits from a tangible lead-time advantage and freight-cost flexibility on deliveries to the world’s largest nitrogen market: South-East Asia. SIBUR-Fertilizers are the number one nitrogen products supplier to Russian industrial customers, with roughly a half of the market, and are Russia’s second-largest exporter of urea, the world’s fastest-growing and most widely traded nitrogen product.
Market Position: SIBUR-Fertilizers are Russia’s third-largest nitrogen fertiliser manufacturer by straight nutrient capacity, with the biggest market share domestically and the second-largest share of Russian urea exports. The Company is the absolute leader in the Russian industrial nitrogen market, representing nearly a half of overall nitrates and urea industrial sales in the country.
