In the third quarter of 2022, the Grupa Azoty Group’s financial results were driven primarily by the impacts of Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine and an unprecedented rise in prices of natural gas as the key feedstock used in fertilizer production. These factors led to a temporary curtailment in production on some of the Grupa Azoty Group companies’ units in Tarnów, Puławy and Kędzierzyn-Koźle.

After market conditions changed and a decision was made to resume production at Grupa Azoty S.A. in Tarnów and Grupa Azoty Puławy, the Group has offered its customers new, much lower prices of nitrogen fertilizers.

EIC Procurers Days with Grupa Azoty, an event organised by the European Innovation Council for Grupa Azoty, was held on October 12th and October 13th. During the two-day event, representatives of Grupa Azoty met with European companies offering innovative solutions with the potential for implementation by the Company.

Responding to a change in market conditions, the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A. has resolved to start production at the nitrogen fertilizer, caprolactam and polyamide 6 units in Tarnów as of October 12th 2022. Furthermore, the Management Board of Grupa Azoty Puławy has made a decision to increase capacity utilisation and start up the Agro Segment’s process units used to make nitrogen fertilizers: PULAN®, PULAN® MACRO, SALETRZAK 27N, PULREA®, PULREA®+INu, RSM®, as of October 12th 2022.

Commissioning of mechanical granulation line two - in line with the project plan, the Management Board of Grupa Azoty Puławy has given the green light to start the mechanical pre-commissioning and commissioning of Nitrate Mechanical Granulation line two. The decision marks another phase of one of the largest fertilizer projects implemented in Poland. Each of the two mechanical granulation units has an estimated daily production capacity of 1,200 tonnes of mechanically granulated nitrate or 1,400 tonnes of CAN. The first line started commercial operation on June 11th last year.
