| Weatherly Inc. is an engineering design and
construction company originally founded to perform consulting
services as The D.M. Weatherly Company in 1954. The company was
incorporated as a full service engineering operation in 1961. In
January 1988, Nobel Industries Sweden purchased The D.M. Weatherly
Company to become a subsidiary of its engineering operations
division, Nobel Chematur. The new company was renamed Weatherly Inc.
and was operated separately under direction of Nobel Chematur. The
acquisition of Weatherly by Nobel brought new technology to
Weatherly and a worldwide "in-place" marketing structure. In a
similar manner, Nobel also benefited by obtaining Weatherly's nitric
acid and fertilizer technology and an office in the United States
for performing engineering services. Weatherly entered the
phosphate fertilizer industry in the late 1950s by commercializing
the production of granulated diammonium phosphate (DAP) using the
TVA rotary ammoniator/granulator process. Since that time, Weatherly
has built approximately 30 granulation plants for phosphate, NPK,
and urea fertilizers.
Weatherly then entered the nitrogen fertilizer industry in the
early 1960s by developing a process for producing nitric acid.
Weatherly’s nitrogen fertilizer processes were further expanded in
the mid 1960s with the introduction of technology developed in-house
in the field of ammonium nitrate, urea and UAN solution.
Beginning in the late 1970s Weatherly entered the international
arena while continuing to serve its customers in North America.
Through our association with Chematur Engineering AB and its other
subsidiary companies, Weatherly continues to expand and serve both
its domestic and international customers.
Weatherly has designed and/or constructed moore than 150 new
plants, the majority of which are in the fertilizer industry.
