Hoover's coverage by Mark Richardson

Overview

The folks at CF Industries make a lot of fertilizer, and they like to spread it around. The company is an interregional and international agricultural firm that manufactures and markets nitrogen- and phosphate-based fertilizers (including diammonium phosphate, or DAP). CF Industries owns and operates world-scale nitrogen and phosphate plants and serves agricultural and industrial customers through its global distribution system. The company, which initially failed in repeated offers to buy fertilizer producer Terra Industries in 2009, finally made the deal in 2010 after a bidding war. The acquisition makes CF Industries the largest North American producer of nitrogen-based fertilizers, and #2 in the world.
