[Organisational overview and external environment]
We take pride in maintaining our position as the leading manufacturer of fertilizers and chemicals in Poland. Our Group is also a major chemical producer in Europe, with a broad portfolio including mineral fertilizers, engineering plastics and OXO products. Most of our products are manufactured in Poland, but we also operate plants in Germany and Spain. The headquarters of Grupa Azoty S.A., our parent, is located in Tarnów. Three Group companies – Grupa Azoty S.A., Grupa Azoty Puławy and Grupa Azoty Police − are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
In Poland, the Grupa Azoty Group is the leading producer of mineral fertilizers, polyamides, OXO alcohols, plasticizers, titanium white and melamine. In the European Union, we rank second in mineral fertilizer production and third in PA6 production. Our success is owed to the dedication of fifteen thousand employees across over fifty companies. Our products are valued and appreciated by customers on five continents – the Americas, Asia, Africa and, naturally, Europe. In 2022, our consolidated revenue rose by more than 55%, to PLN 24.68 billion. An improvement by over a half was also recorded in our profit on sales, which came in at PLN 1.79 billion.
