K+S partner Elixir finishes construction phase of a European production facility for water-soluble tMAP 12-61. First product will be shipped in the first months of 2026.
After completing the construction and commissioning phase, the new production facility for technical monoammonium phosphate 12-61 (tMAP) is now operational. The Serbian chemical park Prahovo (ICP) is close to the borders with Romania and Bulgaria. The plant marks an important milestone in the partnership between K+S and the Elixir Group. The first product from the new facility will be available starting February 2026, ensuring reliable European supply backed by the quality and service you expect.
Elixir, a producer of regular and high-purity phosphoric acid, is working closely with K+S. Phosphoric acid and tMAP production are closely linked, which is not only sustainable in terms of the circular economy, but also guarantees a high-quality product.
K+S will market fully water-soluble tMAP under its soluMAP® brand in Europe, expanding its portfolio of potash and magnesium products.
Europe currently imports aound 80% of its phosphate demand in fertigation from China (Source: Argus Media). There, tMAP and its precursors are used as raw materials for battery production. It is already becoming apparent that availability is becoming scarce as a result. In addition, immense delays due to inspection times, customs duties and handling costs at the port of destination are presenting customers with major challenges.
The European market for fertigation is highly dependent on Chinese imports of tMAP. These are affected by volatile export restrictions and delivery times of several months. With product from Europe, we will be able to offer our customers a lucrative and reliable alternative.
Short delivery times with the same high level of service by K+S are essential for the successful production and distribution of water-soluble fertilizers. K+S guarantees this through its central location and existing logistics network in Central Europe. Thanks to its location on the second largest river in Europe, the Danube, the Prahovo site itself has very good access to the important application markets. Within a few days, customers can expect product supplied via truck in Europe and Turkey.
