    Quick Summary

    Orlen will acquire a butadiene plant builder from Synthos for $193 million, enhancing its petrochemical value chain in Poland.

    Orlen to Acquire Butadiene Plant Builder for $193 Million

    GDANSK, ‌Dec 18 (Reuters) - Polish state-controlled refiner Orlen ‍said ‌on Thursday it had signed a ⁠deal with chemicals ‌group Synthos to acquire a company building a new butadiene extraction unit at ⁠its production plant in the city of Plock ​in central Poland.

    The deal has ‌an enterprise value ⁠of 692 million zlotys ($193 million) and it will lengthen Orlen's petrochemical value ​chain, the company said, adding that the final settlement is expected by the end of June 2026.

    The extraction ​unit ‍was initiated ​as part of the Olefins III expansion, a model under which Orlen said it did not have operational or ownership control over the investment.

    Last December, ⁠Orlen decided to revise the Olefins III project and ​proceed with a new framework called "New Chemistry", after its costs spiralled and a state audit revealed ‌significant losses.

    ($1 = 3.5896 zlotys)
