Our History
The history of Iberpotash goes back over 90 years, when potash was first discovered in Suria. This discovery resulted in numerous additional drillings by a variety of different companies - and a better understanding of the limits and capacity of the Catalan Potash Basin.

Today, Iberpotash is one of Europe's most important potash resources, conveniently located near the major potash consumption areas of the European Union.
