ICL’s Charleston facility in the USA specializes in producing coated controlled-release fertilizers, particularly for professionals in the horticulture and specialty agriculture sector. The coating process controls the release of nutrients, enabling efficient, prolonged nutrient delivery.
Since its establishment in 1989, the site has been producing Osmocote, a leading brand in controlled-release fertilizers for the horticulture sector, and more recently added Agriform to its portfolio of products.
In 2003, ICL Growing Solutions Charleston significantly expanded its capacity, increasing its production lines from one to three. This expansion also introduced a soft-blending facility to ensure the effectiveness of controlled-release fertilizers is retained when they are incorporated into fertilizer blends.
The Charleston facility produces controlled-release fertilizers for the Horticulture and Agriculture sectors. The special coating on these fertilizers releases the nutrients exactly when they are needed by the plants.
Renowned for its reliability and consistent performance, Osmocote remains a core product at the Charleston facility. Its advanced controlled-release technology has made it a trusted choice for horticultural and specialty agricultural applications for decades.
In 2003, the site increased its number of production lines from one to three, significantly boosting its production capacity. Further improvements also introduced soft-blending capabilities, further enhancing product quality and maintaining fertilizer efficacy.
In 2016, the factory installed new oxidizer technology that significantly reduced natural gas consumption. This innovation supports ICL’s sustainability goals, improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
