Kassel, Germany-The K+S Aktiengesellschaft board of directors has decided to reorganize the COMPO and fertiva business segments. K+S says the objective is to position the Group in the attractive fertilizers sector even more strongly and to open up new growth opportunities. The reorganization essentially aims to group within one company the nitrogen fertilizers sold by fertiva with the ENTEC and sulfur-containing NITROPHOSKA products previously sold by COMPO, starting from Jan. 1, 2009. K+S hopes it will achieve a sales structure with a stronger concentration on bulk customers in agriculture and special crops such as fruits, vegetables, and grapes. Slow-release fertilizers, coated fertilizers, and NPK specialities, as well as nutrient salts in the professional area, will be managed, together with consumer products, under the COMPO umbrella and its units in Germany and abroad.
