SIGMAROC ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Poland
Nordkalk’s Poland platform consists of Nordkalk’s limestone and carbonate operations in Poland and comprises quarries and grinding operations across four locations including Miedzianka, in the middle of Poland, which is Nordkalk’s largest quarry. The Poland platform also includes relatively small operations in Turkey and prospective mineral permits in Ukraine.
STRATEGIC REPORT
PLATFORM HIGHLIGHTS
Nordkalk’s Poland platform had a very strong year, benefiting from robust demand within infrastructure, chemical and environmental markets. Dynamic pricing mitigated high input costs, and operational improvement programmes improved margins and profitability.
In addition to strong financial performance, Poland also marked a milestone with its first full year of mining operations at the new Ołowianka quarry, adding 1.2m tonnes per annum of limestone capacity and permitting for a further 3.2m tonnes of reserves secured.
