Description of activity

For several decades the company has been mining and processing basalt from the Trupień mountain deposit. The grits, mixes and basalt breakstones manufactured by the company are sold solely in Poland (100% of manufacture). The main buyers of the aggregates are road and bridge building companies. The company’s production capacity is 220 thousand tonnes annually. Similarly to other economy sectors, management of basalt aggregates for the road and bridge construction sector is subject to market rules. This is visible in the domestic basalt aggregate manufacturer structure, which has been dominated since few years by the private sector. These materials are traded almost entirely by private companies. Business is therefore dependent on the market and on competition in the road sector. It is anticipated that in the next few years the demand for the aggregates manufactured by the company will remain at a stable level, mainly due to the road constructions conducted as part of the preparations for EURO 2012.
