PROPRIETARY BRANDS – THE FUTURE OF POLISH AGRICULTURE “These past 25 years have been a time of sweeping change and growth for Poland. Our determination in the struggle for freedom has given place to perseverance, energy and resourcefulness in the way we make use of that freedom. The magnitude of our success is clearly seen in agriculture and rural areas, therefore I am proud to have assumed the patronage of the PUŁAWY Competence Centre’s major project of drafting the report ‘25 years of Polish agriculture. Food security in Europe" wrote President Bronisław Komorowski in his welcome message to the attendees of the 4th Science–Business–Agriculture Conference.

Grupa Azoty purchased school supply starter kits for children from 91 rural schools as part of its ‘Leader of Polish Distribution’ initiative. The Company, Poland’s largest fertilizer manufacturer, launched the project to support rural areas across Poland through its distribution network.

Recycling plays an increasingly important role in the context of increased efforts to optimise operations and promote sustainable development in the chemical industry. Therefore in August 2014 Gdańskie Zakłady Nawozów Fosforowych Fosfory, a member company of the Grupa Azoty PUŁAWY Group, began to make use of phosphates from the retention reservoir at the landfill site in Wiślinka.

Grupa Azoty achieves further market synergies.
Grupa Azoty Puławy and Grupa Azoty Police have entered into a series of melamine and urea sale contracts with Kronospan. The contracts, with the total value estimated PLN 900m, will remain in force until the end of 2018. The Puławy and Police plants will supply their products to Kronospan, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-based boards, directly to Kronospan's Polish companies in Mielec and Szczecinek, Strážske in Slovakia and Ostrava in the Czech Republic.

On October 6th 2014, a new investment project with a target budget in excess of PLN 108m was placed in service at Grupa Azoty Puławy S.A. The new ammonia storage facility, with a capacity of 15,000 tonnes, will provide greater stability of ammonia supply, the Company’s key feedstock. The project will enhance the security and consolidate the position of the Company and its Group on the domestic and European markets.
