We are located on a 1600 acre site along the Tennessee River in Northwest Alabama and produce anhydrous ammonia, aqua ammonia, nitric acid, urea, urea ammonium nitrate, nitrate solutions and diesel emmissions fluid (DEF). Our facility has been in operation for over 50 years. After a ground breaking ceremony, plant contstuction began in 1962 under the control of Armour Agri-Chemical Company. In July of 1962, the workers here organized under the United Glass and Ceramic Workers of North America becoming its Local 417. Later, a merger with the Aluminum Brick and Glass Workers and after that, a merger with the United Steelworkers of America in 1997 becoming what we know of today as Local 417-G.
