- Azot Group unites four production sites and remains the leader in supplying various types of high-quality ammonium nitrate. In Russia, our enterprises cover 60% of the needs of blasting operations, and in Kuzbass - all 90%. At the same time, the nitrate produced by Azot Group makes it possible to produce high-quality explosions with maximum energy yield, which reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere," said Sergei Albrecht, Deputy Sales Director of Azot Trading House (a branch of Azot KAO in Moscow).
Azot Group development programme for the next decade takes into account the growing needs of the coal and other extractive industries in Siberia and the Far East, and Kuzbass has a special place in it.
