We are becoming increasingly aware that, besides usability and convenience in daily life, plastics enhance our safety. Protective equipment made largely from plastics, films and synthetic fibres improves hygiene and enables us to effectively eliminate unwanted bacteria. Tarnamid MB AMB developed by Grupa Azoty is an antimicrobial concentrate containing silver, with polyamide 6 produced by the company as its base plastic. The use of Tarnamid MB AMB as an additive to plastics creates antimicrobial properties in products without affecting their existing parameters.

The Polimery Police project has entered a key construction phase as regular deliveries of large equipment needed to start up the project units commenced on January 17th. One such piece of equipment is a tank that will store propylene obtained through propane dehydrogenation.

The grand prize is a John Deere 5058E tractor, and in addition every day participants can win up to four prizes of PLN 1,000 each.

Further to rumours circulated by one of the trade unions as to alleged plans to dissolve leading Companies of the  Grupa Azoty Group, i.e. Grupa Azoty Puławy, Grupa Azoty Police and Grupa Azoty Kędzierzyn, we firmly deny that the newly adopted Strategy of the Grupa Azoty Group includes any dissolution plans regarding those companies or any resulting staff lay-off plans. We regard such rumours as harmful fake news and we urge everyone to refrain from spreading them. Doing so could trigger unrest at the Companies concerned and cause unnecessary anxiety among our staff.
