Acron, the Group’s flagship located in the Russian northwest, offers a wide range of nitrogen and complex fertilisers, as well as industrial products. The Acron production facility was originally commissioned in the 1960s–1980s and revamped throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Several modern units were constructed between 2006 and 2016. In 2017, the Group’s updated development strategy through 2025 launched a new stage of modernising existing facilities and building new ones. Under this strategy, Acron built eight new production units: a sixth urea unit, three nitric acid units, two urea granulation units and two calcium nitrate (CN) units; it also implemented large-scale upgrades to its ammonia and urea units and technical upgrades at its NPK and AN units.
Acron Group has a subdivision that operates its rail car fleet to transport raw materials to the Group’s production sites and end products to domestic customers and seaports. PJSC Acron Stand-alone Business Unit operates more than 2,000 railcars and tanks owned by the Group, as well as over 2,000 leased railcars.
