ILSA
Process: Agrogel FCH
Unique Production Processes. With "The green evolution", ILSA can count on particularly efficient production technologies for more responsible and sustainable agriculture. These technologies are highly automated and unique of their kind because they are the only ones capable of producing modulated release solid organic fertilizers (a process called: FCH®- Fully Controlled Hydrolysis) and liquid fertilizers with predetermined molecular weight in the production phase (process called: FCEH®). In recent years, the company has supplemented FCH® and FCEH® with the SFE® (Supercritical Fluid Extraction) extraction process.
The Mission
Give less to produce more! ILSA's mission is enshrined in three significant words: sustainable agriculture productivity. The goal is ambitious but clear: to meet the growing needs of an increasingly specialized agriculture by helping farmers improve the quality and yields of their crops, with a keen eye on social responsibility and respect for the environment.
Solid Fertilizers
FERTILIZERS. “Smart” fertilizers that can modulate the release of nitrogen and other nutrients in sync with plant demand, without any loss, and in line with new concepts of “sustainable agriculture. BIOSTIMULANTS, Effective biostimulants, based on natural molecules and substances, capable of acting on the primary and secondary metabolism of plants. They increase plants' tolerance to abiotic stresses and support them in case of adverse conditions such as excess soil salinity, temperature changes and thermal (too hot-too cold), water (too much rain-drought) and stresses caused by pesticide application.

Distribution System
Commercial policy. ILSA target its sales on two main channels: the ILSA brand distribution with a focus mainly on organic agriculture and the industry that has accompained ILSA since its foundation and is served with ad hoc formulations and private labels. Solid and liquid protein hydrolysates, plant extracts and biostimulants, to be used as such or as raw material, are the product categories bought by industrial customers to which the company offers both a product customisation service and a packaging service.

Laboratory
The Corporate Research Center. The pivotal role of research at ILSA was formalized in 2005 with the inauguration of the Corporate Research Center, which employs highly specialized personnel from leading Italian universities. Biotechnologists, chemists, agronomists and pharmacists, all working with the common goal of achieving product and process innovation. The corporate research center is equipped with all the state-of-the-art technologies for preliminary screening of prototypes.
Circular Economy
Circular economy ILSA was established in 1956 by a young industrial chemist based on this belief and great insight: extracting natural nitrogen from hide tanning process, thus producing high-efficiency fertilizers. A model of circular economy that can combine chemistry, agriculture and the environment, which is still a distinguishing feature of the company.
Research
Research has played a crucial role for ILSA since 1976, when the first collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza started, expanding over time to numerous national and international universities and research institutes. Investing in research is a priority for ILSA because soil and plants are very complex biological systems that need to be investigated and understood with a multidisciplinary research approach.
