The Nitrogenous Fertilizer Plant Tîrgu-Mureş – known today as AZOMUREŞ – was founded in 1962 as a producer of nitrogenous fertilizers. The Nitrogenous Fertilizer Plant Tîrgu-Mureş consisted of three main producing plants (ammonia, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate) and five auxiliary units necessary for providing the plant with cooling water, demineralized water, steam, electric power, spare parts and equipment.
Together with the increase of the price of the energy, several high energy consumers from the older installations had been shut down. The only installations to continue operations were the following: Ammonia III, Ammonia IV, Nitric Acid II, III and IV, Urea, Melamine, NPK, CET I and II and Ammonium Nitrate I, II and III.
After 1990, AZOMURES had gone through several periods of restructuring, a privatization in the late 90’s, and in 2012 the property was transferred to the Ameropa company.
