Production Centers

Strategic Production Centers

ICL Growing Solutions operates two specialized fertilizer production centers in the southeast of Spain. These sites are dedicated to the development, formulation, and distribution of advanced plant nutrition products for agriculture, ornamental horticulture, and professional turf and amenity sectors.

Our Spanish production centers play a strategic role in ICL’s global production network.

Our facility in Totana is the largest site in the region. It houses ICL Iberia’s laboratory and R&D teams and serves as the main production hub for liquid fertilizers, including the Nutri Liquid ranges. These liquid solutions are designed for maximum nutrient availability, crop compatibility, and application efficiency.

The facility in Los Patojos, Cartagena, operating since the 1980s, is our primary site for blending, packaging, and storage of solid fertilizer products, including our controlled-release and granular fertilizers.

Innovation and sustainability are central to our operations. From increasing the use of recycled materials in our packaging to investing in driver training to improve fuel efficiency, we continually work to reduce our environmental impact. Our dedicated fleet of bulk tankers enables reliable delivery of high-performance fertilizers directly to farmers across Spain.

Specialty Fertilizer Hub

Together with our potash mine in Catalonia and the port terminal at Escombreras, these centers ensure we can serve the needs of professional growers across Spain and deliver high-quality fertilizers to markets around the world.

Liquid Fertilizer Production

Totana is ICL’s leading center for NutriLiquid production, a key part of the company’s liquid fertilizer portfolio. Formulated and delivered in bulk, as well as containers and cans, these high-quality liquid fertilizers are produced in large volumes and designed to meet the nutritional needs of a wide variety of crops.

Controlled-Release Fertilizer (CRF) Blending

Spain is a major center for CRF blending. These customized nutrient blends are developed with precision to match crop needs and growing conditions, supporting efficient nutrient use and sustained crop health.

Fertilizer Handling and Packaging

At the Los Patojos site, solid fertilizers are blended, packaged, palletized, and prepared for distribution. The facility handles both CRF and granular products and is strategically located for distribution by land and by sea from the nearby Escombreras port.

Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship

Sustainability is a key focus of ICL. In Spain, our initiatives include: the use of 70% recycled plastic in packaging; using bulk handling to reduce total plastic use; and the implementation of a certified zero-waste program. The facilities also collect and reuse rainwater, participate in community reforestation and beach clean-ups, and contribute to social causes. All sites follow a CO2 reduction and compensation plan, verified annually.
