Grande Paroisse
Grande Paroisse was a chemical company in France, with fertilizers as its main products. It was established in 1919 as a subsidiary of Air Liquide and Saint-Gobain. It took its name from La Grande-Paroisse, a commune near Montereau-Fault-Yonne in Seine-et-Marne, where its first factories were built.[1] After having been part of Total and of Borealis, it was acquired by Agrofert in 2023.[2] As of 2026, it is part of the LAT Nitrogen subsidiary of Agrofert, with production locations in Le Grand-Quevilly, Grandpuits, Ottmarsheim and Linz (Austria).[3]
In 2001 the AZF factory in Toulouse, belonging to the Grande Paroisse group, exploded, leaving 31 dead.[4]
