Chemical Plant decides not to participate in NP consortium

Police Chemical Plant (ZChP) have successfully managed to be not included in plans to create a consortium of fertilizer producers, to be created by Nafta Polska (NP), the state body responsible for restructuring the sector. The company could not imagine itself being part of the group of producers of nitrogen fertilizers, as it specializes in phosphor and multi-ingredient fertilizers. "We would only achieve market synergies, due to complementing product offers of the different plants. The Competition and Consumer Protection Office (UOKiK) hated the idea," said Krzysztof Żyndul, President of ZChP. NP's plans to consolidate the sector has one major disadvantage, it would create a monopoly. The new concern will consist of ZA Puławy, Kędzierzyn and Tarnów. ZChP has its own development plans, which would foresee creating a group of fertilizer producers competitive to NP explained Krzysztof Żyndulo. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) M.M.
