DIOKI
Croatian plastics producer seeks partner for expansion drive / Strategic focus on LDPE, PS
Croatian plastics producer Dioki (CRO-10000 Zagreb; www.dioki.hr) was created in 1995 in a spin-off of three companies from oil and petrochemicals group INA (www.ina.hr). The company now owned to more than 99% by the private equity funds Croatian Privatisation Fund and Privatisation Investment Funds is looking for strategic partnerships to help fund an ambitious expansion plan that foresees restructuring, enlarging and modernising production facilities.
Dioki currently has production capacity for 200,000 t/y of plastics and 250,000 t/y of starting materials. Its portfolio encompasses LDPE (trade names “Okiten” and “Dinalen”), along with PS (standard and impact-resistant, trade names “Doki GP” and “Doki HL”) and the starting materials ethylene and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). Some 82% of the 166,000 t of plastics produced in the year 2000 were sold in the EU, 10% in the home market and 7% in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. All of the VCM output was sold in the EU. Due to supply bottlenecks, ethylene capacities were utilised only to around 65%.
