Maire Tecnimont S.p.A. announces that its subsidiary KT – Kinetics Technology S.p.A. has been awarded an EPC contract by Lotos Asfalt Sp. z o. o., a subsidiary of Grupa LOTOS SA related to a refinery unit upgrading in the Gdansk refinery, in the framework of the EFRA (Effective Refining) Project.
Grupa Lotos is one of the largest refining companies in Poland, engaged in the extraction and processing of crude oil, as well as in the wholesale and retail of refined petroleum products.
