HIP–Petrohemija (Serbian: ХИП-Петрохемија) is a Serbian petrochemical company, with the headquarters in Pančevo, Serbia.[3]

The company owns petrochemical complexes located in Pančevo, Elemir and Crepaja.[4] It specializes in producing HDPE, LDPE and other petrochemical products with an annual production capacity of 700,000 tonnes.[5]

History

Petrohemija was founded in 1968 by the Government of SFR Yugoslavia. On 24 December 2021, Naftna Industrija Srbije increased its stake in HIP-Petrohemija to 90% of shares, after purchasing the majority of stakes from the Government of Serbia for 150 million euros.[6]

Activity

HIP Petrohemija owns large petrochemical complexes located in Pančevo, Elemir and Crepaja. These complexes include a number of nine producing plants.[7]

The ethylene plant is located in Pančevo and was established in 1979 and built by United States based company Stone & Webster and French company French Institute of Petroleum.[8] It produces ethylene, propylene, synthetic rubber, latex, carbon black and gasoline and has an annual production capacity of around 500,000 tonnes.[8] The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plant is located in Pančevo and was established in 1975 under licence from the former United States based Phillips Petroleum Company.[9] The plant has two production lines and produces high-density polyethylene or HDPE having an annual capacity of 76,000 tonnes.[9] The low-density polyethylene (HDPE) plant is located in Pančevo and was established in 1979 under licence from the former United States based National Distillers.[10] The plant has one production line and produces low-density polyethylene or LDPE having an annual capacity of 57,000 tonnes.[10]

The synthetic rubber plant is located in Elemir and was established in 1983 under licence from the former Germany based Buna-Werke Hulls.[11] The plant has three production units and produces synthetic rubber having an annual capacity of 40,000 tonnes, 1,3-Butadiene under licence from Japanese company Nippon Zeon having an annual production capacity of 45,000 tonnes and methyl tert-butyl ether or MTBE under licence from Italian company Snamprogetti having an annual production capacity of 35,000 tonnes.[11] Other production plants include the PVC production plant in Crepaja with an annual capacity of 16,000 tonnes,[12] the polyethylene pipes and fittings plant in Pančevo with an annual capacity of 11,000 tonnes,[13] the chlorine-alkali electrolysis plant in Pančevo built under the licence of the Olin Corporation with an annual capacity of 200,000 tonnes,[14] a water treatment plant in Pančevo and a utility plant that produces energy fluids.

Market and financial data

In 2017, after years of insolvency, HIP-Petrohemija made record 341.48 million euros of net profit.[15][16] This tremendous trend turnover was achieved through debt write off and debt-to-shares conversion by the Government of Serbia.[15]
