Acron Group’s business model is based on an effective chain of interconnected segments, including mining, chemical production, logistics and distribution. Vertical integration allows the Group to control the value-added chain and ensures business sustainability and competitive strength.
The main goal of the Group’s feedstock segment is to provide feedstock to Acron Group’s chemical production facilities in order to improve the Group’s competitiveness. The main goal in segment of chemical production is to produce high-quality products, increase output and develop new brands of complex fertilisers. Advanced logistics ensures uninterrupted feedstock delivery and guarantees the shipment of products. Extensive distribution networks in Russia and China and trading companies in Europe, the U.S. and Latin America provide the Group with market diversification and 100% product sales. The Group holds leading market positions in its segments in Russia, Brazil, the United States, China and Thailand.
In 2017, Acron Group presented an updated development strategy through 2025 designed to make maximum use of existing production potential. The new development programme includes a number of highly efficient projects at Acron and Dorogobuzh with relatively small CAPEX and payback periods. The projects can be combined for flexibility in the investment programme, offering Acron Group greater control of its debt burden. In its new development strategy, Acron Group also focuses on the needs of its customers, expanding the product portfolio and further developing its distribution segment.
In 2018, the Group resolved to launch active construction at the Talitsky potash mine. This project will complete Acron Group’s vertical integration for the three key elements – nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium – and will make Acron one of the most competitive NPK producers globally.
The strategy through 2025 is expected to:
· Boost capacity and output and expand the product portfolio
· Commence own potash production and complete vertical integration
· Considerably develop distribution and enhance penetration in key markets
The Group’s general approach to sustainability is based on the principle of responsible business in all footprint regions.
We invest in the professional growth of our employees, providing them with competitive salaries and social support programmes. Acron Group contributes to the social and economic development of our footprint regions and cooperates closely with stakeholders, working to balance the Group’s interests and the needs of our clients and local communities.Main EU files targeted
