    Ameropa buys Peru’s Inkafert

    Written by Natalie Noor-Drugan


    Ameropa has completed its acquisition of Inka Agri‑Resources S.A.C. (Inkafert), a bulk fertiliser distributor based in Lima, Peru. The deal extends Ameropa’s bulk fertiliser distribution footprint into Peru and strengthens its access to a key South American agricultural market. Inkafert will join Ameropa’s network but keep its existing team and operating structure, ensuring continuity for customers.

    “Our approach is to build on what already works well,” said Josh Zacharias, CEO at Ameropa. “We are impressed by Inkafert’s team, strong customer relationships and market position, and we see great potential to grow together while staying true to what makes the business successful.” Inkafert, for its part, highlights Ameropa’s global reach and says the alliance gives it access to a broader international network and new logistical, commercial and knowledge capabilities, while preserving its close relationships with Peruvian clients.

    Tecnimont to provide license and EPC contract for new urea facility

    Maire Group subsidiary Tecnimont has been awarded a contract by Fértil Pampa SAU, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pampa Energia SA, for a large-scale fertilizer complex in Argentina. The facility will include a large-scale ammonia plant and two parallel ultra-low energy urea trains, each with its own granulation unit, with a combined capacity of 6,000 t/d (2.1 million t/a), making it the largest urea plant in Latin America by production. It will occupy an 80-hectare site within the Bahía Blanca Industrial Complex, in Buenos Aires province. The location is adjacent to Pampa’s existing power generation assets, benefiting from direct access to key infrastructure, including gas pipelines, high-voltage transmission lines, water intake systems, and a deep-water export port, enabling efficient logistics.
