Poland - Emerging market in the old world


Within Kemira’s international network, its nearly 20-year-old Polish branch has emerged as one of the company’s most consistently successful operations.

Kemira’s Polish branch, Kemipol, is a joint venture between Kemira and various local organizations. Because of Poland’s industrial profile and geography, the company focuses primarily on developing municipal wastewater treatment solutions; meanwhile, Kemira’s regional involvement in paper, oil or mining industries is less significant.

Some of the largest players in the country’s municipal water treatment efforts are also Kemipol’s most important clients: Warsaw Waterworks, for example, turns to Kemipol for coagulants and other purification solutions.
