What Alchemia does
Alchemia S.A. is a publicly listed Polish steel manufacturing group (Warsaw Stock Exchange) headquartered in Warsaw, operating six production divisions across Chorzów, Częstochowa, Zawadzkie and Dąbrowa Górnicza, plus a testing-laboratory subsidiary and a regulated electricity distribution operator. The group produces seamless steel pipes (via Pielgrzym rolling and the H. Ehrhardt method), steel ingots and forgings, and long products/rings, offering over 400 steel grades including specialty alloys such as P91 for high-temperature power-plant service (rated to 630°C) and a newly developed 9% nickel alloy for cryogenic mining applications down to -190°C.
The business model is industrial B2B hardware sales with no publicly disclosed pricing. Products are sold through a dedicated domestic sales team and a separate export sales team to customers across oil, mining, gas, energy, machine building, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and tool-and-die sectors, with products certified to EN10216 and ISO3183 and carrying CE/UKCA declarations. The group also operates a regulated Distribution System Operator (OSD) for electricity, generating an additional managed-services revenue stream from designated operational areas.
The group employs 1,001–5,000 people and carries fully paid share capital of 207.3M PLN. Its two wholly-owned subsidiaries are Huta Bankowa Sp. z o.o. (long products, rings and rims) and Laboratoria Badań Batory Sp. z o.o. (R&D and quality-control testing). Historical strategic activity centers on the 2011 acquisition of Walcownia Rur Andrzej (WRA) and subsequent merger plans, while the most recent observable action is the December 2025 proposal to sell real estate at the Kuźnia Batory and Rurexpol divisions, signaling ongoing portfolio rationalization.
