Holding
Through the newly established company PCC Chemax, Inc., domiciled in Piedmont (South Carolina, USA), PCC takes over the division CHEMAX Performance Solutions/Polymer Additives from Rütgers Organics Corporation. The company manufactures specialty chemicals for surface treatment applications. Close cooperation with PCC Rokita SA gives rise to synergy effects in product development, raw materials supply, and product sales and distribution.
Chemicals
With the commissioning of its third polyols production line, PCC Rokita SA doubles its capacity to more than 60,000 metric tons per year. The polyether polyols manufactured by PCC Rokita are used for, among other things, the manufacture of polyurethane foams for the furniture and mattress industries. In Poland, PCC Rokita is the only producer of these polyols.
In October, PCC Rokita SA receives the “Lower Silesian Griffin” business award conferred by the Wroclaw Chamber of Commerce and the employer association Polska Miedź. This marks the start of a series of accolades for the PCC Chemicals subsidiary, which also garners the “Solid Employer 2012” title and the “Pillar of the Polish Economy 2010” award. PCC Rokita SA is one of the biggest chemicals concerns in Poland and this one of the most important employers in Lower Silesia.
Logistics
In view of very rapid business development in the railway transport sector, PCC reorganizes its Logistics division. Ten logistics companies from Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic are placed under the management of PCC Rail S.A. to form the “PCC Logistics” subgroup.
