RCC Group

What RCC Group does

RCC Group is a Russian chemical and petrochemical industry analytics agency headquartered in Moscow, founded in 2001. It operates the only dedicated daily chemical newswire in the Russian-speaking internet, publishing up to 20 news items per day in both Russian (18,000+ subscribers) and English (9,000+ digest subscribers), alongside The Chemical Journal — a monthly magazine distributed in 25 countries. The firm sells subscriptions across newswires, the magazine, and monthly price bulletins covering 24 chemical products (including 6 polymers), organizes flagship industry conferences such as the Moscow International Chemical Summit (with the Russian Union of Chemists) and the Russian Congress of Plastics Converters (with Messe Dusseldorf), and runs the Chem-Vip.ru executive database and RCC Intelligence Unit for custom market research.

The company's commercial model blends subscription recurring revenue (newswires, magazine, price bulletins) with professional services revenue (custom research, feasibility studies, technology assessments, advertising and PR). Direct enterprise engagement is anchored in access to top management and industry leaders across Russian and international chemical, petrochemical, and polymer producers, plus investors, government officials, and the academic/RAS scientific community.

A second, less obvious pillar is technology commercialization: RCC acts as the commercialization arm for INKhS RAS (A.A. Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis) and partner developers, bringing to market patented innovations including titanium-magnesium nanocatalysts, synthetic guttapercha (Patents RF 2290413, 2295541), ODM-2F diatomite-based filter media (annual savings cited at 1.2B rubles), Mini-CHP waste-to-energy units (6 Russian patents), polymer shut-off valves, microwave water treatment, cable-waste recycling (≈100% metal recovery, 90%+ polymer recovery), VITARTIL mineral feed additive, and steroid-hormone diagnostic equipment. Commercialization revenue passes through partner entities (e.g., ZAO Bioenergetik, LLC IG Evraziya-Asiya) with RCC providing industrial testing, project management, and promotional channels.
