FertiGlobal’s mother company, Larderello Group, was founded two centuries ago in Tuscany (Italy). Here our founder Larderel was the very first to exploit the natural resources of the territory, such as hot water springs and the local high concentrations of chemical elements, including boric acid.

For decades, the Larderel family hold a worldwide monopoly for boron, but in the early 1900s – when the American companies entered the market – they figured it was time to expand the production.

The solution was right under their feet. The steam produced by the geysers could be used to produce an increasingly requested good: electric energy! This is how the first plant in the world capable of transforming geothermal energy into electricity was born.

Today – as you know – we’re working on another crucial revolution: making the global agriculture sector more sustainable thanks to cutting-edge crop nutrition technologies.
