In 2009 the plant underwent a full-scale modernization, including the assembling of the modern automatic equipment.

The plant also sells crushed polypropylene (from discarded automotive batteries).

## Shipment

The products are supplied to manufacturers of accumulator batteries all over the world.

A significant part of the production is sold in the domestic market and used for manufacturing automotive batteries.
