Our objectives
Growing with joy involves the active shaping
of expansion and relates to growth in both a
personal and a business sense. In this regard,
one may take the Borealis L.A.T management
at its word.
•
For us, growing with joy also means portfolio
enlargement because we wish to fulfill the
needs of our customers to the greatest
extent possible. Past developments confirm
that our new slogan corresponds with reality,
as ­evidenced by expansion not only in terms
of the n
­ umbers of items available, but also
our warehousing and sales region as a
whole. All of which adds up to parallel
growth amongst our partners and customers.
Gerald Papst
Vice-President BU Fertilizer
•
Our customers represent the focus of both
our thoughts and actions. Without them, our
growth would be impossible. Accordingly,
together with our partners, who market our
chemical products, and via an extensive
range of products and services, we assist our
customers to achieve growth in their own
business areas.
Ernst Buchner
Director Sales Fertilizer
•
We are tapping into diverse new markets
and are adding numerous production locations, which naturally results in increasingly
complex logistics. However, overcoming the
resultant challenges with new employees
from differing cultures is most gratifying.
Moreover, in the process, we generate
additional advantages for our customers,
who in future will thus be able to achieve
supplementary growth.

Two business areas,
one objective.
Growing with joy.
Fertilizer
is an effective nutrient
for increased growth.
Technical nitrogen products
Top quality and
service standards.
Borealis L.A.T’s Fertilizer Business supplies
the farming sector with top quality products.
A diversity of crops from the grain to the
oilseed crops, from to orchards to the
horticulture, the vegetables to the pastureland
are thus furnished with all needed nutrients.
As a fully owned Borealis AG subsidiary and
part of the international Borealis Group, the
Technical Nitrogen Products Business has a
global orientation and is responsible for related
Group sales.
The correct use of fertilizers leads to success.
Therefore, we support our customers with
an extensive range of consulting, hints and
advice relating to the optimum application and
handling of our fertilizers. These services are
provided by telephone, Internet and also on
the spot.
Optimum yield and thus sustainable
agricultural activities are important as they
constitute the only means by which a
profitable situation can be achieved for all
those involved. Thereby we provide support
with our handheld tool the N-Pilot® to measure
the nitrogen nutritional status directly in the
field.
Or in other words, growing with joy.
Accordingly, from its head office in Linz, the
Business supplies its industrial clientele
around the world with a range of product
solutions based on the commodities urea,
ammonia, ammonium nitrate and nitric acid.

Borealis L.A.T :
Europe’s leading
fertilizer distributor.
Borealis L.A.T has a clear
geographical focus on Europe and
is the continent’s leading fertilizer
distributor.
The company’s head office is located in Linz,
Austria, where apart from fertilizers, the
globally active Borealis Group manufactures
melamine and technical nitrogen products.
Additional fertilizer production locations are
situated in France (Ottmarsheim, Grand
Quevilly, Grandpuits), Belgium (Moustier) and
the Netherlands (Sas van Gent). In addition
Borealis L.A.T has long-term relations with
production and sales partners across the
world. In selected areas our global market
presence will be expanded.
Innovations based on practicality
Borealis L.A.T feels obligated to encourage
good farming practice and therefore promotes intensively the use of the latest methods
and equipment for the precise determination
of the fertilizer requirement of agricultural
crops. N-Management tools like N-Tester and
N-Pilot measurements furnish our customers
with valuable assistance during fertilizer
planning.
Borealis L.A.T supports the correct use of its
products via a diversity of practical contacts.
Numerous field tests and inspections,
attendance at specialist agricultural trade fairs
and 200 local events for farmers held every
winter, underline the company’s commitment
with regard to the sustainability issue. In
2011, 70 years of fertilizer production were
celebrated in Linz and in 2013, a century of
production in Grand Quevilly, France. The
know-how of Borealis L.A.T is furthermore
complemented by Rosier, a mineral fertilizer
manufacturer based in Moustier (Belgium)
with history and experience since 1880.

A commitment to
sustainability
For Borealis L.A.T, the future
presents a two-pronged challenge
comprised by the sustained supply
of the global population with food
in tandem with the simultaneous
protection of the environment.
We are well aware that farming has an
influence on every aspect of the eco-system.
The atmosphere, water and soil are all
impacted and flora and fauna are influenced to
an equal degree.
Therefore, a mineral fertilizer producer such as
Borealis not only bears a special responsibility
with regard to the environmental
­consequences of its production, but also the
straightforward employment of its products.
Thus, the question arises as to the
contribution that a mineral fertilizer can make
to sustainability. A comprehensive response is
not limited to the individual acres of farmland,
but is also reflected by the effects on every
tonne of wheat, maize and rapeseed. For in
the final analysis, halved yields mean that
double the amount of precious land resources
are required for cultivation.
Climate protection and a secure
supply of food
The application of mineral fertilizers enhances
both crop harvests and quality. Indeed, 48 per
cent of the global population feeds itself via
this increased output. Furthermore, by 2030
the world’s food requirement is set to rise by
another 50 per cent.
In view of the limited availability of farmland,
this additional need can only be covered by
intensive and simultaneously sustainable
production methods.
Consequently, Borealis L.A.T has the objective
of promoting higher arable farming yields with
cleanly produced products.
Smallest ecological footprint
Today, Borealis fertilizer production in Linz is
already setting the benchmarks of the
tomorrow, as is exemplified by its lowemission manufacture of nitrogen fertilizers
containing nitrates. This protects the climate
and consumes less fossil fuel, thus creating
fertilizers with the smallest ecological impact.
The low carbon footprint standard thus
achieved was already recognized in 2009 with
the award of the Upper Austrian government’s
IRIS environmental prize.

Success factors
Those looking for farming success
must use fertilizers in order to return
to the soil the valuable nutrients
absorbed by crops. Apart from
its top quality products, Borealis
L.A.T also supports farmers in
this process with agronomic and
technical know-how, especially with
regard to correct fertilizer storage
and optimum application.
This provides better yields, which in
turn facilitate sustained agricultural
activities. This represents the
only means by which a win-win
situation can be attained for all those
involved. Or in a nutshell, only thus
can all sides achieve growing with
joy.

Our products
NAC 27 N
NAC 27 N
Concentrated, rapidly effective and suitable for overall use
– the leading product with regard to nitrogen fertilization.
First class granulate quality allows optimum spreading.
Areas of application: NAC 27 N can be used for all crops with a nitrogen
requirement, as well as all types of soil (even those with a high pH value)
and every form of operation.
AN 34 N
AN 34 N
AN (Ammonium Nitrate) is a solid nitrogen fertilizer in
prilled or granulated form. It contains the nitrogen half
as Nitrate-Nitrogen, half as Ammonium-Nitrogen. Due to
significantly lower volatilization losses ammonium nitrate
gives a substantial better nitrogen efficacy and efficiency.
Areas of application: AN works well in every crop and on each soil: no
matter if sandy, heavy, high or low pH, cold or warm climate. Therefore AN
is the universal, approved and established nitrogen fertilizer in the European
agriculture.
UREA 46 N
UREA 46 N
Highly concentrated with a 46 per cent urea content
and thus particularly efficient. Used correctly this is an
economic and reasonable priced source of nitrogen.
Areas of application: root crops on soils that are rich in clay and slightly
acid. Incorporating into the soil assists the effect of UREA 46 N.
