Project 6

Increase in the recognition of Flukar Sp. z o. o. product brands as a result of promotional activities on selected international markets

The subject matter of the Project was the participation of Flukar Sp. z o. o. in activities performed within the framework of the Automotive and Aerospace Components Industry Promotion Programme aimed at promoting the Company’s petroleum-derived products offered under the JASOL (standard products) and REVLINE (premium products) brands on potential sales markets. As part of this Project, Flukar performed promotional activities in global and European markets, including its participation as an exhibitor at 6 trade fairs in Dubai, Frankfurt, Poland, Russia and South Africa. The promotional activities were complemented by the purchase of a consultancy service for the internationalisation of the entrepreneur. The aim of the implementation of this Project was the product expansion of Flukar towards eastern markets (among others, Russia, the United Arab Emirates) and the market of the Republic of South Africa, as well as the expansion of sales markets in the area of the European Union, in compliance with the Company’s long-term export strategy. The above was possible thanks to Flukar’s participation in the Automotive and Aerospace Components Industry Promotion Programme, as part of which the Applicant performed a number of promotional activities. As a result of the implementation of the Project, the Company acquired new customers and established long-term business contacts. This translated into an increase in the Company’s income from export activities. The effect of the Project is also an increase in the recognisability of the Company’s products offered under JASOL and REVLINE brands on foreign markets.

Project 5

Implementation of technology for the selective management and regeneration of solvent and paraffin streams from petroleum waste

Purpose and planned effects of the project:

The subject matter of the Project is the implementation of an innovative technology for the selective management and regeneration of solvent streams, as a result of which the Company will offer on the market:

1) distillation and composition of chemical intermediates and products

2) regeneration of light and medium fractions

3) 4 types of recycled products

  1. non-stick oils
  2. flotation oils
  3. speciality lubricants
  4. plasticisers for rubbers and caoutchouc.

The above will be achieved through the implementation of the results of our own as well as commissioned research and development (R&D), crucial in respect to the characteristics and functionality of the Company’s services and products. As part of the Project implementation, the Company envisaged the following investment activities:
