Mol's €1.3 Billion Polyol Complex In Tiszaújváros Inaugurated

MOL Group inaugurated its EUR 1.3 billion polyol complex in Tiszaújváros, Hungary, capable of producing approximately 200,000 tonnes of polyol annually. The ceremony, attended by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, MOL Chairman-CEO Zsolt Hernádi, and thyssenkrupp Board member Ilse Henne, is a significant milestone for the company.

The polyol complex, which includes the entire value chain from petroleum processing to polyol production, was completed in September 2019. The main units were transported to Tiszaújváros from 2019 to 2020, followed by the completion of hydrogen peroxide, propylene oxide, polyol, and propylene glycol plants.

“With this new MOL polyol-complex we establish new standards in terms of efficiency, environmental friendliness and automation by combining proven technologies with innovative solutions”, said Nadja Hĺkansson, CEO of thyssenkrupp Uhde. “We are grateful for the deep and trustful partnership with MOL. This polyol plant is a true landmark project and a great demonstration of how we at thyssenkrupp Uhde enable the industrial green transformation. With fully integrated and highly automated plant units, the valuable polyol chemicals will be produced in a highly efficient and sustainable way.”

In addition, the complex includes a pilot polyol plant, a quality assurance laboratory, and a research and development centre in Százhalombatta.
