By attaining new markets and unlocking hitherto unknown business areas, we promote sustainable chemistry, geared towards rational use of resources and safeguarding the natural environment.


Our Business

We continually strive to increase the value of our company, effectively using our potential, innovation and resources. We maintain a strong position as a leading surfactant manufacturer in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe. We acquire new markets and discover unknown areas of business. We promote sustainable chemistry that is geared towards rational use of resources and care for the natural environment.

Value Chain

Effective and transparent management of the value chain in the company is a key element in the adopted idea of sustainable development. This is mainly due to the fact that our business is a specialised and complex profile in surfactant production. By cooperating with our stakeholders, we take steps to promote sustainable chemistry by identifying risks and their impact on the economy, the environment, and society. Understanding these relationships allows us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of our organisation.
