HISTORY

History of Eti Gübre

Formation stages of Eti Gübre step by step from past to present.

Mazıdağı Big Project

"Mazıdağı Big Project" was included in the investment program by DPT, and Nitrogen Industry (TÜGŞAŞ) was given the task of establishing the Mazıdağı Fertilizer Factory, which was included in the investment program. Although the relevant public institution TÜGSAŞ was assigned to establish a fertilizer plant in Mazıdağı together with Etibank, this institution gave up this initiative due to the lack of raw materials such as pyrite and natural gas as a sulfur source and other reasons. Investments made by Etibank after the transfer of all phosphate deposits to Etibank were carried out in two stages, namely the "Karataş Project" and the "Southeastern Anatolia Phosphates Big Project".
