The PCC Group currently employs around 3,300 people at 41 sites
in 18 countries. The investment portfolio of the Group is divided
into seven segments. The six segments Polyols & Derivatives, Surfactants
& Derivatives, Chlorine & Derivatives, Silicon & Derivatives,
Trading & Services and Logistics are allocated full operational responsibility.
Assigned to these six segments are a total of 17 business
units that are managed by our international companies and
entities. The seventh segment, Holding & Projects, includes not
only the holding company PCC SE but also various project companies.
Compared to the previous year, the following changes were made to the investment portfolio of the PCC Group in 2024: There were two additions to the scope of consolidation with PCC Rokita Trade Sp. z o.o., Brzeg Dolny (Poland), in the Chlorine & Derivatives segment, and PCC Exol Trade Sp. z o.o., Brzeg Dolny, in the Surfactants & Derivatives segment; PCC ChloroSilanes Sp. z o.o., Brzeg Dolny, and PCC GulfChem Corporation, Wilmington (Delaware, USA), were also included in the scope of consolidation. These two companies have been assigned to the Holding & Projects segment. Also included in the scope of consolidation are the companies Centralna Oczyszczalnia Ściek.w Sp. z o.o., Brzeg Dolny, and PCC Italy S.r.l., Milan, which are allocated to the Trading & Services segment. The disposals from the scope of consolidation result from the merger of PCC Chemicals GmbH and PCC Integrated Chemistries GmbH into PCC SE, each domiciled in Duisburg. Including PCC SE, 49 companies are thus fully consolidated in the PCC consolidated financial statements for 2024. Three joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

The corporate strategy of the PCC Group is focused on the creation
and continuous enhancement of enterprise value. As a
growth-led investor predominantly aligned to the long term, the
holding company PCC SE supports its affiliated businesses in their
entrepreneurial development and in the expansion of their various
specific strengths. The existing investment portfolio is actively
managed and continuously optimized. The focus here is particularly
on efficiency enhancements and process optimization. The
Group’s development policy also focuses on the regular appraisal
of further potential projects and acquisitions geared to both forward
and backward integration. The aim is to diversify into new
market segments in line with our expertise while at the same time
strengthening our raw materials base and expanding our core
business geographically. By contrast, non-core activities are only
developed to a certain level of market maturity with a view to then
offering them for sale. The main objective remains the long-term
securing of further profitable growth for the PCC Group as a whole.
