* The owner of Rafo Oneşti, interested in the plant of Vâlcea
German company PCC, "Petrochemical Holding" Austria, the owner of RAFO Oneşti, and AISA, the company of businessman Ştefan Vuza, were interested in buying presentation folder to participate in the privatization of "Oltchim", according to sources close to the situation.
Aside from these companies, journalist Dan Diaconescu has expressed his intention to buy "Oltchim".
"I am trying to buy Oltchim, but not on my own", said Dan Diaconescu. "I am trying to do it together with all my viewers, with the entire Romanian people, with everybody who wants to subscribe in this act".
Investors still have a week left to buy presentation folders in "Oltchim".
Some sources claim that the Russians of TISE want to sue the Romanian state, for changing the participation rules mid-game.
Apparently these changes have disqualified TISE, before it participated in the call for tenders.
What is interesting is the appearance of "Petrochemical Holding" Austria, as a potential investor in Oltchim. The Austrian company currently holds 96.5% of Rafo Oneşti.
In the month of August, the shareholders have approved the beginning of the negotiation procedure in order to take out a loan of 330 million Euros proposed by the managers of the company, from various foreign creditors, in order to retool and modernize Rafo Oneşti. "Petrochemical Holding" GmbH Austria was setup in 1996. It is headquartered in Vienna and has a share capital of 200,000 million Euros. Its line of business consists of petrochemistry and financial investments. The main petrochemical companies which "Petrochemical Holding" controls are RAFO SA of Romania, Korund and Wellchem, of the Russian Federation, and Grizzy Gas of Poland, and in the financial sector, Devision Ukraine and Teknol, of the Russian Federation.
