Mažeikai refinery is profitable, but could have been overtaken by competitors. New law threatens investments

Topic of the Mažeikai refinery came up during results conference of PKN Orlen.

– It has been profitable for three years. So far, with this demand, we see perspective for Mažeikai. For those who try to say that Mažeikai was a mistaken investment I would like to remind what could have happened if it was overtaken by competition – rated CEO of PKN Orlen Wojciech Jasiński.

Russian Rosneft was also interested in purchasing the Mažeikai refinery.

Orlen’s management board also referred to new Lithuanian law, that will give Vilnius insight to biggest companies’ investments. – It is hard to be satisfied with it. It may make investments harder. These are potential benefits, but the law has just been accepted. Our approach is calm, we hope that there will be conditions for further investments – said Jasiński.
