Having started out as a single phosphate mining operation some 55 years ago, Foskor has rapidly grown into a reputable and highly profitable producer and processor of phosphate and phosphoric acid.
As a result of Foskor’s strategic expansion over the years, our primary business activity extended from basic mining to the current focus on the beneficiation of phosphate rock and the production of phosphoric acid and phosphate-based fertilisers. These end products are sold locally and globally.
Today the Foskor Group comprises of two main mining and production facilities:
Foskor Phalaborwa. Situated in the Northern Province (Limpopo) of South Africa, the Phalaborwa region is known for its extensive phosphate and copper reserves. The Foskor facilities in this area are focused on the mining and beneficiation of phosphate rock as well as recovering low concentrates of copper minerals.
Foskor Richards Bay. Located in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province of South Africa - an area known for its huge industrial development and harbour export facilities - this Foskor Richards Bay is primarily a producer of phosphoric acid and phosphate based fertilizers, while also distributing lower volumes of sulphuric acid to customers within the South African market.
Ultimately, Foskor is a dynamic and highly regarded South African group of companies that strives for excellence in all our mining and production undertakings and approaches everything we undertake with determination and a desire to be the best at what it does.
