Pulawy adopts 10 year strategy and looks for gas supplies

The supervisory board of the company adopted a 10 year strategy for the plant until 2017. Apart from increase in production and acquisitions, a key plank of the strategy is to diversify the supplies of raw materials. The company wants to persuade Polish Oil and Gas (PGNiG) to help it to get access to gas in Kuwait, Qatar, Libya and Egypt. "Gas processing companies there are interested in cooperation," stated ZA Pulawy president Krzysztof Lewicki. "Different solutions are being considered, such as the establishment of joint-venture companies," he added. PGNiG has not issued any answer to the ZA Pulawy proposal yet. Apart from investments abroad, ZA Pulawy also wants to introduce completely new products to the market, it intends to start start producing methanol which is not currently made in Poland at all.
