The autumn fertilisation season is one of the busiest periods at the Marijampolės NPK fertiliser plant. As order volumes and production increase, the pace becomes particularly intense: we plan the supply of raw materials, manufacture, package, and prepare products for delivery. Yet even during the busiest part of the season, one thing remains unchanged – our focus on quality. Precision, process control, and team accountability are essential at every stage of production. Speed helps us fulfil orders on time, but consistently maintained quality is what builds long-term trust. Peak-season pace. The same high quality standards.

We’re always looking for efficiency at every step: not only by creating more efficient products, but also by making production, its processes or energy solutions more effective. ‣ A more efficient hot air generator has been installed at the Marijampolės NPK plant, which allows drying the product with lower costs. If necessary, it can use several types of fuel. ‣ The steam produced in the boiler house is used not only for granulation, but also to maintain the temperature of certain raw materials and for the production of liquid NPK fertilisers. ‣ The plant uses electricity produced from renewable sources - solar energy. These are just a few examples of how energy management is becoming an important part of the process, affecting both costs and environmental requirements.

Summer is one of the busiest periods of the year for fertilizer manufacturers. At the Marijampolės NPK plant, production is already underway for the upcoming autumn season, while UHB Bag ensures that the products are packed in high-quality big bags designed for safe handling and transportation. Reliable packaging is more than just a transport solution. It helps protect product quality throughout the supply chain, ensuring fertilizers reach customers safely and in optimal condition.

The first phase of the Marijampolės NPK fertilizer plant warehouse complex renovation began in May this year. During the first phase of the project, UHB Group will invest more than EUR 1 million in equipment upgrades. These investments are aimed at modernizing infrastructure, increasing operational efficiency, and ensuring even higher process quality standards. Production modernization is a long-term project. Over the coming years, the entire warehouse complex is planned to be renovated in stages, without interrupting plant operations and while ensuring uninterrupted service for customers and partners. Consistent investment in production infrastructure provides a strong foundation for future growth and enhanced competitiveness.

Raw materials from various suppliers may differ not only in chemical composition, but also in physical properties: shape, colour or granulometric composition. These differences also affect the production process itself. Thus, before the production of each new batch of fertiliser, we assess which raw materials will be used and how they may affect technological parameters. All incoming raw materials are tested in the laboratory and based on the results obtained, formulas are calculated. As our chief technologist Evaldas says: “Stable quality of the final product begins with the ability to adapt to differences in raw materials and manage the process in real time.” #Marijampoles NPK #UHBAgro

It all starts with the raw material bunkers, from which the raw materials enter the belt scales, then into the mills, where they are ground, the mixture goes to the mixer, where it’s heated with steam and moistened with water. Here the first pellets are made. Then they enter the granulator, where the final form of the pellet takes place. The pellets are dried, cooled, sieved, sprayed with adhesion-reducing substances and stored in the warehouse. After a few days, the product is packaged and sent to customers or their warehouses.
