Centilion, a fertilizer production
company based in Henry, Ill., and Wilson Industrial Sales, and industrial
chemicals and fertilizer marketer and distributor based in Rensselaer, Ind., on
June 30 announced they have entered into an exclusive offtake agreement. Under
the agreement, Wilson will have exclusive rights to market and distribute all
production from the Centilion plant to national and international customers,
after a short transition period during which rights will be shared with the
previous offtake customer.
“Centilion’s Henry
plant and Wilson have been affiliated for more than 30 years, and it feels good
to turn our partnership into a formal long-term business arrangement,” said
Centilion President and COO Kobus van der Zel. “The Wilson team has been part
of our family for a long time and they have demonstrated their deep knowledge
of the ammonium sulfate market.” Centilion produces a variety of granulated
fertilizer products directly from raw materials, including 75 percent sulfuric
acid.
Nutrien Ltd., Saskatoon, said June 29 that it is restarting the Vanscoy mine in Saskatchewan following repairs to its load out facility caused by a fire that occurred over three months ago. During the repairs to Vanscoy, Nutrien shifted significant production to other mines to maintain 2020 targeted production levels showcasing the strength of Nutrien’s mine network and flexibility.
As it restarts Vanscoy, Nutrien says it does so at reduced rates to maintain existing production plans and commitments to customers. Vanscoy is expected to operate at an annual run rate of 700-800,000 mt in 2020 which is not an indication of future utilization rates.
