Polish Group PKN ORLEN Looking to Expand Business in Romania

Polish Group PKN ORLEN, with an annual turnover of EUR 24 B, is currently looking to expand its business on other markets. As it has already been present on the Romanian market for 7 years so far, including bitumen and certain petrochemicals, such as acetone, polyethylene, polypropylene and PTA, Romania seems to be a good opportunity for investment.

Daniel Obajtek, the CEO and President of the Management Board of PKN ORLEN, had an official meeting this week with Mr Ludovic Orban, the Prime Minister of Romania. The discussions, held at the Romanian Government’s headquarters, focuses on opportunities for development and on the PKN ORLEN’s strategy for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and challenges associated with the energy transition.

Poland and Romania are bound by ties of friendship and partnership, and by the common values we share. The relations between our two governments are also very good. As far as the economic relations are concerned, Polish businesses are present on the Romanian market, there is a lot of Polish investment and we are happy about that. We are also pleased that regional players of such stature as PKN ORLEN are interested in the Romanian market. I hope today’s meeting with Mr Obajtek will pave the way to our further potential cooperation.

Ludovic Orban, the Prime Minister of Romania
