Grupa Azoty - OXO

Page 1

Grupa Azoty Grupa Azoty is Poland’s largest chemical group, formed through consolidation of the major players of the Polish chemical sector. The OXO segment, Grupa Azoty’s third-largest product segment, generates 9% of its total revenue. We are the sole manufacturer of OXO alcohols in Poland, ranking fifth in Europe. We are also Poland’s largest and Europe’s fifth-largest producer of plasticizers. The OXO segment trading strategy is based on partnership where the experience, dialogue, needs and response to these needs generate benefits and ensure business development. The state-of-the-art plant manufacturing the first Polish non-phthalate plasticizer Oxoviflex®, honoured just after the commencement of the production by Polska Agencja Rozwoju Przedsiębiorczości [Polish Agency for Enterprise Development] which awarded it the title of “Polski Produkt Przyszłości” [Polish Product of the Future], is an unquestionable asset to the OXO segment.

Applications OXO alcohols are used in the production of plasticizers, solvents, acrylates, acetates, fuel additives, paints and varnishes. Plasticizers are used as softeners and emulsifiers, to obtain substances with the required mechanical properties, including PVC plastics. Plasticizers make PVC products flexible and pliable. They are widely used in the construction and automotive industries as well as in the manufacturing of footwear, cables, wires, packaging and medical products.
