OCI

Oci N.v.

A Netherlands-based maker of nitrogen fertilizers and methanol, OCI Global supplies farmers and industrial customers around the world with products like urea, ammonia, and diesel exhaust fluid. Its roots trace back to the Orascom group founded by Egyptian businessman Onsi Sawiris in 1950; in 2013 the chemicals arm moved to Amsterdam's stock exchange, and in 2015 it split off its construction business to become a pure chemicals company. The name "OCI" simply comes from the old Orascom Construction Industries initials, not a grand slogan.
