INTRODUCTION

„HIP-Petrohemija“ a.d. Pancevo is the biggest producer of petrochemical products in the Republic of , with the tradition over the period longer than three decades. We are located at 247 hectares in the industrial zone of Pančevo, Elemit near Zrenjanin and near Pančevo. Annually, we produce near seven thousand tons of petrochemicals. Beside polymers– HIPLEX® (HDPE), HIPTEN® (LDPE), HIPREN® (SBR) and polyethylene pipes, in our assortment are base products, as well- ethylene, propylene, C4- fraction, pyrolysis oil, pyrolysis gasoline, 1,3- butadiene, MTBE and products of chloro alkaline electrolysis.

In the period between 1968-1969 within economic development of Jugoslavia, at the state level, it was recognized the need for building of petrochemical complex, in order to decrease the import of basic chemical products and improve the country’s balance of payment. The available raw material, already formed experienced personnel, very convenient transport possibilities in all transport means, have led to the decision to build this industry within the existing Chemical industry (HIP) in Pančevo. After the selection of the most advanced technology and equipment usaually from USA, in the period between 1971 to 1980, it was built 6 plants: LDPE, HDPE, VCM, PVC, Ethylene

2 and Electrolysis, mutually technologically connected by ethylene and chlorine line, and the entity was rounded with the Utility Plant and Waste Water Treatment Plant, as well as numerous specialized departments. During 1991 HIP-Petrohemija became richer for two product plants: it was joined Synthetic Rubber Plant in Elemir, near Zrenjanin and it was released the Plant for the production of polyethylene pipes and electro fusion fittings “Petroplast”, as well as two more plants for purifying the waste water.

HIP-Petrohemija is modern, socially responsible company, which supplies the market with the high quality products, satisfies the customers requests, interests of its owners, employees and the whole community, improves its impact on the living and working environment and in that way realizes expectations of all interested parties.

HIP-Petrohemija, as the regular producer of basic and polymer petrochemical products will be the leader in the chemical industry and initiator of the economic development of Pančevo and Serbia, recognized by the product quality and services, in the constant dialogue with the surrounding and employees, as its own driving force.

HIP-Petrohemija is directed to the successful and profitable business operations through the production in accordance with the philosophy- the highest quality and safety with the sustainable development and realization of the investment programs, which enables the improvement of the business. 3

We aim to meet the current and future needs of the customers- delivery of the products in the right quality, in the right time and right quantity, because it is the satisfaction of the customer is the most important measure of our success. We continuously improve the performance of our process in the environmental protection and the working environment in compliencee with applicable laws and regulations- optimum energy consumption, decrease of the emission in air/water/ soil, decrease and dispatch of produced waste, we improve the safety and health at work and we make the minimal risk from the potential accidents in the working and living environment. We improve knowledge and awareness of the employees on quality- through proper training, care of working and living environment, motivation for work and increase of the life standard of the employees. We express and promote corporate social responsibility towards the community and the society, through estabilishment of partnership with all interested parties, and with the aim of efficient and effective mutual communication. We continuously improve the quality of all our processes and products, in accordance with the best available techniques. 4

LOCATION DESCRIPTION

Pančevo is situated in the south part of AP , in the north part of the Republic of Serbia and it represents the economical and cultural center of the south . The distance from is one of the most important advantages of Pančevo related to the other local governements in Serbia. Pančevo is closer to Belgrade, even than Belgrade municipality Obrenovac. Besides that it has the direct exit on Danube and Tamiš, several highways go through it (Belgrade- Zrenjanin; Belgrade-Vršac; Pančevo-) and two important railways (Belgrade-Kikinda and Belgrade-Bucharest). Pancevo borders with the municipalities: Kovačica, , Kovin and the city of Belgrade, as well as the south border towards Danube (towards Belgrade municiality Grocka).

The town of Pančevo is situated in the area of the mild continental climate, which characterize long and warm summers and autmns, mild winters and short springs. Special climate feature represent kosava, strong and dry wind, which lasts up to three weeks. The most frequent is early spring and late autmn, and it comes to the speed of 100 km/h. In the cold period, there are winter severac and north-west wind, which bring long rain, and in summer sudden rain showers. Local conditions in this area are specified by the closeness of the big water area of river Danube, as well as the possibility of free horizontal air circulation due to the flat area. 5 Infographics
