Processing the world's phosphorus perfectly

Wengfu blazes a trail with frenetic expansion and big tech exports

In 2007, China's Wengfu (Group) Co Ltd achieved what was then truly extraordinary - the State-owned phosphorus and chemicals manufacturer outplayed many European and US counterparts to win the bid for the then world's largest mineral-processing project in Saudi Arabia.

That set the tone for its frenetic global activity ever since. It launched a number of projects in nearly 10 countries and regions covering northern and western Africa as well as the Middle East.
