Nitrigin Eireann Teoranta

Nitrigin Eireann Teoranta (NET), was a semi-state body set up in 1962 to build and operate a factory for the production of nitrogenous fertilisers. By around 1972, the company had expanded rapidly from a basis of around 200-300 employees to nearing 1000 employees. In the wake of rapid expansion, communications between staff and management were put under strain, with many employees beginning to feel unrecognised for their work. A strike by employees in resulted in the merger of Nitrigin Eireann Teoranta with Irish part of Imperial Chemical Industries to become Irish Fertiliser Industries Limited in 1976. The company closed closed in 2002.
