Holding
PCC SE sells off its Polish railway activities, the “PCC Logistics” subgroup, to Deutsche Bahn AG. This divestment constitutes PCC’s biggest success to date in following its proactive investment portfolio management policy. Not included in the sale is PCC SE’s majority holding in PCC Intermodal SA, a company active in the dynamically growing Polish market for container transportation and destined to be further expanded in the coming years.
The first stock market flotation of a PCC Group company takes place with the IPO of PCC Intermodal SA, Gdynia, Poland, on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
PCC SE purchases a majority stake in a Polish quartzite quarry. Among other things, quartzite is used in the manufacture of silicon metal employed in the chemicals industry (for the manufacture of silicone and siloxane) and also in aluminium production.
Energy
With the commissioning of the first hydropower plant in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the PCC Group commences its activities in the generation of renewable energy. With a capacity of 1.15 MW, the Mujada power plant reduces CO2 emissions in the country by 7,200 metric tons per year. Our power plant projects are planned and managed by PCC DEG Renewables GmbH, Duisburg, a joint venture between PCC SE and the KfW subsidiary DEG – Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH, Cologne.
