Company Profile

Company Profile Overview


The IPL Group has undergone a transformation in the past five years from an Australian fertiliser company to an organisation with interests in North America, South America and Asia, as well as Australia. This growth has positioned IPL in the top 50 ASX-listed companies in Australia.

The chemicals IPL produces are fundamental to the basics of everyday life:

  • Nitrogen-based fertilisers help us to grow more food for the world's ever-increasing population and produce natural fibres such as wool, cotton and timber.
  • Explosives made from similar chemicals help to extract the minerals essential for the production of energy and the manufacture of everyday goods.

Food, clothing , shelter, transport, communications and energy all depend on the industries IPL serves.

In recent years, the rapid rise in living standards in two of the world's most populous nations - China and India - has created a surge in the demand for food and minerals.

IPL has strategically positioned itself to take full advantage of this need.

Through its integrated business model, IPL's 5,000 employees manufacture and market fertilisers and explosives to customers around the world. Throughout its operations, the company's mantra is simply - Zero Harm for Everyone Everywhere. Where safety is concerned, there are no compromises. It is the bedrock of the business and the number one priority.

IPL has financial strength and wide exposure to established and developing markets. This has created opportunities for sustainable growth - subject to Incitec Pivot's strict investment criteria.

IPL has become a leader in its chosen markets with a portfolio of recognised and trusted brands.
