Puławy nitrogen plant looks to Russia's Gazprom as its future investor

Fertilizer and melamine producer ZA Puławy wants to consolidate industrial chemical producers according to its own concept, which means not taking into account the government's strategy for the sector. "We are considering purchasing gas from Russia. We have already concluded preliminary negotiations with Gazprom and we presented them with our opinion. I do not hide the fact that we also want Gazprom to become our investor," said ZA Puławy president Zygmunt Kwiatkowski. He added that capital connections with the supplier of strategic raw material will enable production costs to be lowered, while at the same time improving the company's competitiveness. If Puławy managed to carry out the consolidation process of fertilizer producers, then it would become an attractive partner for Gazprom. However, Kwiatkowski assured that nothing would be done that would omit the participation of Polish Oil and Gas (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 12) M.M.
