ORLEN Group is considering increasing participation in fertilizer sector in Poland
The ORLEN Group is analysing a possible acquisition of Zakłady Azotowe Puławy owned by Grupa Azoty S.A. The companies have signed a cooperation agreement and a non-disclosure agreement enabling due diligence to start at the Puławy-based company. The merger would increase the ORLEN Group’s participation in the fertilizer sector and enhance its efficiency and competitiveness on the European market through numerous synergies. For farmers and other customers of the two companies, the merger would mean a better and broader range of fertilizer products and easier access to products in demand at a given time, achieved through enhanced production flexibility.
