Company History
Cosmocel has been a prominent player in the agriculture sector for over 60 years. The company initiated its journey with a significant milestone in the 1970s by developing the first foliar fertilizers. In 1978, Cosmocel split its product lines into two independent companies: Complex Química for industrial chemical products and Cosmocel for agricultural products. The company continued its expansion by opening a new plant in San Nicolás, Nuevo León in 1981 and launching the Fertigró product line in 1992. A major development in 1994 was the launch of Maxigrow, pioneering bio-stimulation in agriculture. In 1999, Cosmocel obtained ISO 9001 certification for quality assurance. Further milestones include entering the American market in 2001, expanding into Latin America in 2005, and forming partnerships and opening new plants in South Africa and the USA.
