About PCC SE

PCC SE is the holding company of the PCC Group, a German industrial conglomerate whose securities are listed in the Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) market context. Headquartered in Duisburg, Germany, the company should be viewed by investors as a diversified chemicals-and-materials platform with a strong industrial footprint rather than as a pure-play specialty chemicals name. PCC has been built over more than three decades and has expanded from its Duisburg base into multiple international markets through a mix of organic growth, operational optimization, and selective acquisitions.([pcc.eu](https://pcc.eu/en/company/)) The group’s business is organized into several operating segments, including Chlorine & Derivatives, Surfactants & Derivatives, Polyols & Derivatives, Silicon & Derivatives, Logistics, and Trading & Services, alongside a Holding & Projects segment. This structure shows a vertically integrated industrial model: PCC produces and markets basic and intermediate chemicals, surfactants, polyols, silicon-based derivatives, and related logistics services. Management emphasizes long-term value creation, process efficiency, and continuous portfolio optimization.([geschaeftsbericht-2024.pcc.eu](https://geschaeftsbericht-2024.pcc.eu/en/group-management-report/organization-of-the-pcc-group/)) Geographically, PCC operates on a broad international basis. At year-end 2024, the group reported 41 sites across 18 countries and 3,295 employees, with most staff located in Europe and a presence that also extends to North America, Asia, and Africa. Key production locations are concentrated in Germany and Poland, while the footprint also includes the United States, Iceland, Ghana, and Thailand. This diversified manufacturing and commercial base supports customer proximity and gives the group access to multiple end markets.([geschaeftsbericht-2024.pcc.eu](https://geschaeftsbericht-2024.pcc.eu/an-die-investoren/die-standorte-der-pcc-gruppe/)) From a competitive standpoint, PCC is best described as a niche industrial group rather than a global sector leader. Its strengths lie in partial vertical integration, operational flexibility, and exposure to several sub-markets, which can help offset cyclical pressure in any single line of business. For 2024, PCC reported revenue of €960.0 million, slightly below the prior year, with mixed segment performance; Chlor & Derivatives was the largest EBITDA contributor, while Silicon & Derivatives remained loss-making, though it improved versus the previous year.([geschaeftsbericht-2024.pcc.eu](https://geschaeftsbericht-2024.pcc.eu/konzernlagebericht/schwerpunkte-unserer-geschaeftstaetigkeit/)) Recent developments are important for investors. In 2024, PCC commissioned a new alkoxylates production plant in Malaysia through a 50/50 joint venture with PETRONAS Chemicals Group. In parallel, the group is planning a chlor-alkali plant at Chemours’ site in Mississippi and an additional alkoxylates facility in Texas. More recently, in May 2026, PCC announced an extraordinary impairment on its silicon plant in Iceland, underscoring the capital intensity and market sensitivity of its asset base.([pcc.eu](https://pcc.eu/en/company/))
