Agriculture
According to the most common law of agricultural science (Liebig’s law of the minimum), the amount of crops depends on the nutrient that is the scarcest in soil. The wide and diverse range of fertilizer products offered by the Grupa Azoty Group helps farmers meet the requirements following from this principle. Application of fertilizers manufactured by the Group affects the way plants use mineral resources and water, leading to improved environmental and economic efficiency of fertilisation. We are also developing a segment of services for businesses, including the SatAgro programme
Food industry
The polyamide granules produced by Grupa Azoty S.A. are applied in the manufacture of polyamide casings used to package cold meats. Other important components supplied by the Group are bio-based non-phthalate plasticizers, which are also used as products suitable for direct contact with food.
Automotive industry
Our polyamide 6 and POM have a variety of applications in the automotive industry. Thanks to their exceptional properties, including high durability and ability to absorb vibrations, as well as thermal resistance, chemical resistance and resistance to impact, they are suitable for the manufacturing of automotive parts located near motors, electrical systems and internal and external equipment for motor vehicles.
The OXO alcohols produced by our plants are used as additives to plastics. Sulfur is used in the tyre industry.
Electrical engineering
Electrical insulation and self-extinguishing properties make our polyamide 6 an ideal material for electrical engineering applications. It is used to manufacture switchgear cabinets, plugs, connectors, connector pins, circuit-breakers and sockets.
