Yara Contrecoeur Terminal
In 1996, Yara (Norsk Hydro at the time) purchased Nutrite, a company in Eastern Canada. Nutrite operated several bulk blending plants as well as a year-round import terminal in Contrecoeur, Quebec. Today, the terminal in Contrecoeur is the premier import terminal in eastern Canada and has storage capacity of 160,000 metric tonnes of dry fertilizer. It is ideally situated on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River (about 1 hour east of Montreal) and is accessible to customers in the main agricultural regions in eastern Canada and northeastern U.S.

Yara's history...
Yara's history is living proof of our commitment and consistency all the way from the beginning in 1946 when Norsk Hydro signed the first sales agreement with Wilson & Geo. Meyer until today. Our history shows how the company has developed, grown and been supported by a growing market. It also shows the early globalization of the company and the fertilizer industry. During the later years the development of the industrial market and the increased focus on environmental products mark two additional important milestones.
