BorsodChem MCHZ, s.r.o., in its current form, continues hydrogenation lines for production. Concurrently, in traditional chemical production that dates back to 1927. the company gradually discontinued the production At that time, the objective was to use the nearby source of sorbite, sulphuric acid, isopropylamine, nitrogen, oxygen, of coke gas to provide Czechoslovak production with argon, fertilisers and sodium nitrite, ammonia solution ammonia, nitric acid and artificial fertilisers before World and oxalic acid as a result of optimising the production War II, just like in surrounding European countries. portfolio.

The production in a new plant started in 1928 with After 1990, the company underwent numerous the production of ammonia and ammonia sulphate. organisational and ownership changes. The joint-stock The production programme, originally focusing on the company “Moravské chemické závody” was formed production of fertilisers, was expanded and modernised in 1990 through the transformation of the state-owned after World War II. The production of formaldehyde plant. From 1 January 1999 to 26 April 2000, Moravské and urea-formaldehyde resins was launched and the chemické závody was a branch of Aliachem a.s. The processing of hydrogen for hydrogenation was expanded. current BorsodChem MCHZ, s.r.o., was formed on 27 Gradually, the production of as a basic April 2000 by a split-off of the major part of the Moravské raw material for the production of nylon was developed. chemické závody branch from Aliachem a.s. The majority The company progressed from the production of fertilisers owner of BorsodChem MCHZ, s.r.o. was BorsodChem to the production of oxalic acid. Zrt. which increased its equity shareholding in 2006 and became the sole shareholder of BorsodChem MCHZ, Production of the current significant products of the s.r.o. In February 2011, the BorsodChem acquired a new company, i.e. aniline and , began in 1962 strategic owner – Wanhua Industrial Group. when the company constructed a pilot plant for such production. In 1971, the company launched operations At present, BorsodChem MCHZ, s.r.o. is fully integrated in a new phenol formaldehyde moulding material and resin into the multinational corporations. BorsodChem MCHZ, production plant. s.r.o. owns technologies and know-how for the production of key products which is able to develop further. The The most significant investment of the company so far – licence for the aniline production technology was sold the aniline block – was put into operation in 1985. The to Japan, where two large capacity units are currently aniline block was followed by a new production plant for successfully operated. More than one tenth of the cyclohexylamine and a new production plant for specialty worldwide aniline production is produced according to the in 1992. The production of hydrogen underwent BorsodChem MCHZ, s.r.o. licence. a major change – the low-temperature fission of coke gas was replaced by production using the steam power At present, the company is focusing on strengthening reforming of natural gas. Gradually, the aniline production its raw material relationships in the BorsodChem group capacity was increased to 165 kt per year, which was in accordance with the strategic plan of the investment enabled by the construction of another modern unit group to strengthen its position on the polyurethane of steam power reforming, an adiabatic nitrobenzene market. Concurrently, it keeps and develops a portfolio production unit and the construction of two modernised of small-scale special chemistry products.
