Great Chemical Synthesis

The chemical companies of the large-scale chemical synthesis in Poland ( pl, Wielka synteza chemiczna) at the beginning of the 21st century, underwent the a process of intensive reorganization.

History

Since the majority of entities in the sector of great chemical synthesis was owned by State Treasury at that time, the reorganisation and privatisation strategy was developed for the sector of great chemical synthesis.

It identified, e.g. weak connections between the particular production plants and the necessity to reorganise them. The effect of this strategy was, e.g. the consolidation of the chemical and fertiliser industry, by establishing Grupa Azoty.
