History

The history of Duslo dates back to 1958, when the foundations of the fertilizing plant in Sala were laid under the name of Dusikáreň Šaľa. Duslo has passed through several stages of transformation, the original production program has gradually expanded with plant protection products, dispersions and adhesives, rubber chemicals and special organic and inorganic chemistry products.
Since its creation , the plant has undergone several transformations. In 1994 a joint-stock company was established (Duslo, a.s.).

In 2005, Duslo, a.s. became part of the international group Agrofert Holding, a.s, and in 2005 Duslo, a.s. acquired shares of Istrochem and since January 1, 2006, Istrochem is part of Duslo, a.s.
Istrochem was one of the oldest companies in the chemical industry in Slovakia. The company was founded by the Swedish inventor Alfed Nobel Dynamite in 1873 as part of the Dynamit Nobel factory, later Dynamit Nobel, a.s.
After the nationalization in 1946, the name of the company changed to Dynamit Nobel Chemistry, later to Chemical Works of Juraj Dimitrova and since 1991 to Istrochem. In 2002, Istrochem became part of Agrofert Holding, a.s. and since 2006 has been incorporated into Duslo, a.s.
Duslo, a.s. purchased part of the production facilities in Chemko Strážske in 2007 and founded HNOJIVÁ Duslo, s.r.o., which merged with the parent company in 2016 and today works as a part of Duslo, a.s.
