Indo-Jordan Chemicals

What Indo-Jordan Chemicals does

Indo-Jordan Chemicals Company (IJCC) is a Jordan-based chemical manufacturer and a wholly owned subsidiary of Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC), the Jordanian state-owned phosphate mining enterprise. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Amman with production operations in Shidiya, IJCC produces phosphoric acid and is expanding into sulfuric acid manufacturing to serve agricultural fertilizer producers, industrial chemical manufacturers, and food-grade phosphate product customers across regional and global markets. Its current phosphoric acid output capacity stands at 330,000 tonnes per year, with a planned expansion to 550,000 tonnes annually upon completion of a new sulfuric acid facility.

IJCC's core technology comprises chemical manufacturing and production facilities for sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid processing, centered on a new sulfuric acid plant with 900,000 tonnes of annual concentrated acid capacity being constructed under a $193 million agreement with East China Engineering Science and Technology Company. The sulfuric acid plant is scheduled for completion within 30 months and is intended to supply internal demand for phosphoric acid manufacturing while adding a new external product line. The company's value proposition is built on vertical integration with its parent JPMC, which secures phosphate rock supply, and on the scale economies achieved through the planned 67% increase in phosphoric acid output.

IJCC operates as a B2B chemical manufacturer, generating revenue primarily through one-time sales contracts of bulk phosphoric acid (and, post-build, sulfuric acid) to regional and global customers in the fertilizer, industrial chemical, and food-grade phosphate segments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is expected to be contract-based given the commodity, bulk-supply nature of the business. The company has 501–1,000 employees, is privately held under JPMC ownership, and serves markets across the Middle East with global reach into mining and chemical sectors. Leadership is headed by CEO Abdel Wahab Alrowwad.
