Poland: Holcim Polska reportedly acquired the Wykroty stone wool insulation plant from Boerner Insulation earlier in 2025, after the latter company allegedly circumvented Polish sanctions on Russia. RadioZET News has reported that the Polish government ordered the sale of the asset under compulsory administration proceedings in July 2024. 20 companies reportedly submitted offers to acquire it. Russia-based TechnoNICOL originally established the plant in 2021.
The Wykroty insulation plant employs 200 people. It is situated in Lower Silesia Voivodeship, 20km from the German border and 30km from the Czech border.
