Plans for 2009

With regard to PVC, the most important markets for the chemical sector in 2009 will be the Polish and Czech markets. The sector will intensly focus its sales intensification efforts on these two markets. Unless the construction sector, which generates the most demand for PVC, breaks down completely, the chemical sector will aim at maintaining its sales on the 2008 level.

ANWIL SA assumes to maintain its share in the Polish nitrogenous fertiliser market, which in the 2007/2008 season amounted to nearly 19%, given maximum utilisation of production capacities and increased fertiliser consumption in Poland.

As with investment projects, ANWIL SA is planning to continue the execution of consecutive tasks connected with the extension of electric infrastructure (power, water and technical gas supply, and the construction of a biological sewage treatment plant) required for the purposes of the PTA unit. The 2009 budget for these tasks is estimated to be PLN 40 mn. Moreover, consecutive stages of the oxygen generating unit modernisation project will be performed in 2009.
