PKN Orlen signs preliminary deal with Brenntag

"The final contract should be signed in March or April and we await a decision of the Interior Ministry to purchase a 100% stake in the company," said Zenon Maślona, head of Brenntag in Poland. He also added that in this way, his company would become Orlen's commercial partner as well as a major player on the plastics market in Poland. "At present, there are 15 distributors of plastics in Poland, but only 2-3 should remain on the market," said a representative of a market competitor. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) M.M.
