  • Grupa Azoty Strengthens Partnership with New Chemical Syntheses
    08.02.2018 Grupa Azoty strengthens partnership with New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy On the initiative of Przemysław Czarnek, Governor of the Lublin Province, the Grupa Azoty Group, Poland’s leading chemical group, and the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy (INS), a renowned Polish research centre, have signed a letter of intent on close and regular cooperation. Group-wide coordination of R&D activities combined with new multidisciplinary projects will improve the Group’s chances of launching innovative solutions on an industrial scale. Fully unlocking the research potential of the Institute, a well- established research centre with over 50 years of presence in the Lublin Province, will also spur further development of the region and the Polish chemical industry at large. “ I am very glad that the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy will collaborate not only with Grupa Azoty Puławy, but also with other Grupa Azoty Group companies across Poland. It is an important milestone on the road towards closer cooperation between science and business – an effort championed by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Science and Higher Education Jarosław Gowin. I believe that strong links between all Grupa Azoty Group companies and the INS, fostered across many areas, will contribute to the development of the Institute itself, which already has a successful track record in scientific research spanning several decades, as well as of the entire Lublin Province,” said Przemysław Czarnek, the Lublin Province Governor. The partnership will involve participation in R&D and implementation projects in Poland and abroad, research and development of new products and manufacturing technologies and their pilot implementation.

  • EPC Contract Signed with Contractor for Polimery Police Project
    11.05.2019 EPC contract signed with contractor for Polimery Police project. Polypropylene unit to enter commercial operation in three years’ time. On May 11th 2019, PDH Polska S.A., a company owned by Grupa Azoty and Grupa Azoty Police, signed a contract for turnkey execution of the Polimery Police project with Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd, marking a milestone in what is the largest chemical project in years. The contract provides for comprehensive implementation of the Polimery Police project, a new petrochemical complex in Police comprising five sub-projects: (1) a propane dehydrogenation unit (PDH Unit), (2) a polypropylene unit (PP Unit), (3) a system for packaging, storage, logistics and dispatch of polypropylene, (4) auxiliary units and inter-unit connections, and (5) a handling and storage terminal comprising port facilities for the unloading and storage of propane and ethylene from seagoing vessels. The target capacity of the PDH Unit is 400,000 tonnes of propylene with a purity of 99.6% by volume (polymer grade) per 8,000 hours, and that of the PP Unit – 400,000 tonnes of polypropylene per 8,000 hours. “The implementation of this strategic project is a landmark event for the Grupa Azoty Group and the Polish chemical industry. Once brought on stream, Polimery Police will help us significantly and strategically diversify our business into the promising and fast-growing plastics market, particularly the polypropylene market segment. We expect the share of the plastics business in consolidated revenue will expand from around 16% in 2018 to over 30% in a few years’ time. Stepping up our efforts to expand non-fertilizer business lines will allow us to diversify revenue sources and mitigate seasonal fluctuations in demand.

  • Police with Its Own Deposits of Phosphate Rock in Senegal
    30.08.2013 Police with its own deposits of phosphate rock in Senegal Groupa Azoty Police began to invest in Senegal, which has become a foothold of the Company to expand into other markets in Africa. The first step in establishing its position in this market was the acquisition of a 55% stake in African Investment Group SA (www.aig-online.eu). AIG holds licenses for access to deposits of phosphate rock and ilmenites in Senegal. Owing to this transaction, Grupa Azoty Police has become the first Polish chemical company which has its own resources. Independence from external suppliers as early as next year will enable the company to save about 30m PLN. "The investment in the deposits is the beginning of the Company's expansion into African markets and Senegal will be the centre of production and distribution of fertilizers to other countries in Africa. To optimize the whole process, vessels transporting raw materials to Police, on their way back will take fertilizers for sale in African markets. In a few years we plan to start our own production of phosphoric acid," said Krzysztof Jałosiński, President of Grupa Azoty Zakłady Chemiczne “Police” S.A. Details of the transactionGroupa Azoty Police S.A. acquired a controlling stake in African Investment Group S.A., Dakar, Senegal. AIG holds licenses giving access to the deposits of phosphate rock and ilmenite sands in Senegal. The purchase of 55 percent shares costs 28.85m dollars. It will be funded in three tranches depending on the operational progress. Annually up to a million tons of phosphate rock will be coming from Senegal to Poland.
