History

Incitec Fertilisers emerged in the mid-20th century through the consolidation of various Queensland fertiliser businesses. By the late 20th century it was the dominant fertiliser manufacturer in eastern Australia, supplying bulk superphosphate, nitrogen, potash, and mixed fertilisers to the agricultural sector.^[2]

In July 2003, Incitec Fertilisers merged with Pivot Limited of Victoria to form Incitec Pivot, which was subsequently listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.^[3]

Products

Incitec Fertilisers produced a wide range of fertiliser blends, including superphosphate, ammonium phosphate, urea, and potash mixes, marketed across Queensland, New South Wales, and northern Victoria.^[4]

The company's assets, brands, and operations continue under Incitec Pivot Fertilisers, a division of Incitec Pivot Limited.
