Key Results
Results 2024
In 2024, the Petrochemicals Division processed 83 thousand tons of propylene and total polymer production was about 60 thousand tons.
The decline in the petrochemical segment was mainly influenced by the fact that the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plant remained shut down throughout the year as a result of unfavorable petrochemical market conditions and a planned turnaround period.
As the only producer of polypropylene and polyethylene in Romania, the petrochemical segment can regain its competitive position in the domestic and regional markets, once the market stabilizes.
