Grupa Azoty Chorzów S.A., Poland’s oldest fertilizer manufacturer and member of the Grupa Azoty Group, is adding specialty calcium fertilizer Calhumus Extra to its portfolio. The new fertilizer is produced from 07a chalk deposits with a high content of organic matter and humic acids. This is another fertilizer in the Grupa Azoty Group’s portflio that fits with the objectives of the European Green Deal.

Grupa Azoty, a leading fertilizer and chemical company, has become a partner of Stage 4 of the Tour de Pologne bicycle race, from Grupa Azoty’s site in Tarnów to Bukovina Resort. The honorary start of the stage is scheduled for August 12th, when the riders will set off from under Grupa Azoty’s Head Office in Tarnów. 

On August 12th, Grupa Azoty’s registered office in Tarnów hosted the departure of stage 4 of the Tour de Pologne, from Tarnów to Bukovina Resort. This is the first stage of this year’s race in which the riders have to negotiate a distance shorter than 200 kilometres. Among those who attended the event were Czesław Lang, the organiser of this most prestigious cycling race in Poland, and Tomasz Hinc, President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.

Since the very onset of the pandemic, the Grupa Azoty Group has been actively involved in supporting various institutions combating COVID-19. Already in mid-March 2020, the management and supervisory boards of each of the Group’s key companies decided to donate PLN 750 thousand (per company) for that purpose.

The assembly of the roof on the first propane tank has been completed. A lift weighing 290 tons, was lifted by forcing air under the dome with a slight overpressure of +0.02 bar. For safety reasons, the maximum speed of lifting the roof was 30 cm per minute.

The National Vaccination Programme Lottery was launched under the auspices of the Chancellery of the Polish Prime Minister on July 1st. Everyone who gets fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with any vaccine available in Poland is eligible to receive a ticket. Prizes include cars and cash.
