Abu Qir Fertilizers and Chemical Industries Company has been facing major challenges recently, as it announced the suspension of its three factories due to the interruption of natural gas supplies.
This announcement came as a result of the hot weather wave that caused an unprecedented increase in energy consumption, in addition to the interruption of some regional gas supply sources, which negatively affected the gas network’s reserves.
The company explained in its statement that it had taken the decision to stop the factories in order to protect them from damage that may result from the difficult operational conditions that the network is currently going through, and work is scheduled to resume as soon as the network’s operational conditions improve.
It is noteworthy that Coca-Cola Hellenic Egypt has filed a complaint with the government due to the cessation of carbon dioxide production in the factories of the Abu Qir Fertilizer Company, which reflects the significant impact of this crisis on other industries.
Abu Qir Fertilizers Company was established on July 20, 1976. It owns three main factories in addition to a plastics factory and a unit for producing nitrate solution (UAN).
