St. Louis-In a move that will clear the way for the expansion of its bulk “clean urea” business, Lange-Stegmann Co. has agreed to sell its bagged, blended NPK fertilizer business to T&N Inc. of Foristell, Mo. Lange-Stegmann President Mike Stegmann said the bagged blend fertilizer business was a very small part of his company, and the sale will allow them to focus on bagging only urea-based nitrogen fertilizers for his company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Agrotain International. For T&N, the purchase represents a significant expansion of their blended business. “Although our company started with bagged fertilizers, we’ve grown to the point where it now makes more sense for us to focus completely on our bulk and stabilized nitrogen products,” said Stegmann. “So we decided to sell the business to our long-time customer, T&N Inc., and we know it will serve their company well. For us, the focus on bagged urea and our departure from the blend business is going to be a major step forward. In terms of quality, efficiency and service, we’ll better serve our growing list of customers demanding ultra-clean bagged urea and our totally soluble stabilized nitrogen fertilizers such as SuperU, UFLEXX, and UMAXX.”
