The ICL Group, parent of ICL Iberia, has given the green light to the investment plan for the development of the Phoenix Plan in Catalonia, with a total of 450 million euros allocated for the first two stages. The company had already invested 276 million euros in 2014. The Phoenix Plan is a strategic project that involves the industrial development of the entire basin of the Bages, in Barcelona, with considerable implications for the area's infrastructure, logistics and international markets.
