Its industrial infrastructure is continuously evolving and changing, with the objective of always being at the forefront of the sector. Proof of this is the expansion that took place in 2017, which allowed it to double its production capacity in the manufacturing of liquid and solid fertilizers. Additionally, since 2007, Herogra Especiales has had the largest liquid copper plant in Europe. This plant was also expanded and automated in 2014, and continues to implement improvements periodically.

Internationally, we highlight the two international branches that Herogra Especiales has: Herogra Nicaragua and Xi Luo Ge La. These were established to meet the nutritional needs of Central America and Asia, thus bringing the know how and the brand Spain to two of the markets with the greatest agricultural potential in the world.
