The manufacturer of fertilizers and industrial gases is among the world's largest makers of plant nutrients and ammonia, selling about 20 million metric tons of fertilizer per year. It is also a top supplier of CO2 and nitrogen chemicals to industrial markets and of nitrates to the explosives industry.
