OMEX opens liquid fertilizer hub
OMEX Ireland officially opened the country’s first and largest dedicated liquid fertilizer distribution hub at the Port of Cork in March. The hub’s opening marks a major milestone for Irish agriculture, according to OMEX, as it ensures farmers across the country will now have reliable access to high-quality liquid fertilizers.
With significant storage capacity at Cork terminal, the hub is strategically positioned to serve all the country’s key agricultural regions. The state-of-the-art facility will operate continuously to supply high-performance liquid N+S fertilizers on a 24/7 basis.
The hub was inaugurated on March 5th with key representatives from OMEX attending, including Chairman Max Winkler and Managing Director Sam Bell, together with leading figures from the Irish farming community.
Liquid fertilisers are revolutionising nutrient management for both tillage and grassland farms across Ireland, according to Luke Thornton, Sales Manager for OMEX Ireland.

“Our liquid fertiliser solutions are designed to optimise nutrient uptake, maximise productivity, and support sustainable farming practices,” he said. “Irish farmers are facing increasing pressure to enhance yields while managing input costs and reducing environmental impact. OMEX liquid fertilisers offer a precision-based approach, delivering essential nutrients exactly where and when they are needed.”
OMEX said the new hub reinforces its long-term commitment to Irish agriculture. By improving nutrient efficiency and minimising waste, liquid fertilizers play a crucial role in reducing the environmental footprint of farming systems across the country, the company added.
The first liquid fertilizer shipment arrived at the hub on 10th March.
