We regret to inform you that due to the circumstances beyond our control, as a result of unforeseen technical problems in the domain of the PA6 high viscosity (HV) plants, which could not have been predicted and prevented, Grupa Azoty S.A., having its registered office at ul. Kwiatkowskiego 8, 33-101 Tarnów, Poland, hereby announces a state of Force Majeure for PA6 HV (high viscosity) supplies starting from 9^th March 2021. The above declaration is valid until further notice.

Between the late hours of Monday and early hours of Tuesday, a 96-metre-tall propane-propylene splitter was safely transported to the construction site of the Polimery Police plant. The logistic operation was successfully completed after almost four hours, marking the achievement of a key project milestone.

Grupa Azoty S.A. and the provincial authorities of the Province of Krakówhave agreed to collaborate closely to advance air and climate protection goals. The joint action plan, which part of the project LIFE EKOMAŁOPOLSKA – ‘Implementation of the Regional Action Plan for Climate and Energy’ was signed by Witold Kozłowski, Marshal of the Province of Kraków, Tomasz Urynowicz, Deputy Marshal of the Province of Kraków, and Tomasz Hinc and Grzegorz Kądzielawski, President and Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A., respectively. The agreement, executed at the Research and Development Centre of Grupa Azoty in Tarnów on February 23rd 2021, commits Grupa Azoty S.A. to aim for the climate neutrality of its production processes and other activities in the Province of Kraków by 2050. The other attendees at the event included Marta Malec-Lech, Member of the Board of the Province of Kraków, and Wojciech Skruch, Deputy Chair of the Provincial Assembly of the Province of Kraków.

The Grupa Azoty Group is launching the Fosfarm product line – modern and environmentally-friendly NPK fertilizers providing an ample and efficient source of soil nutrients. The new line developed by the Grupa Azoty Group’s Gdańsk-based company is another step taken by the Group towards achieving the goals of the European Green Deal.

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. Preparations are also under way to receive the largest appliance, which is a propane-propylene splitter with a total weight of over 890 tonnes.
