LOTOS Asfalt is the only company on the Polish market to sell its bitumen products through a dedicated mobile application.
Over one hundred orders for LOTOS Asfalt bitumens have been placed via smartphones so far. The mSprzedaż application is available for mobile Android devices, but the company plans to roll it out to devices using other operating systems as well.
On October 15th 2014, the Minister of the State Treasury representing the State Treasury entered into an agreement with Grupa LOTOS S.A. for granting the support in the form of non-public aid of up to PLN 530m to finance the construction of a delayed coking unit (DCU) and auxiliary installations (EFRA Project). Under the Agreement, the State Treasury will subscribe for and acquire new issue shares of Grupa LOTOS by exercising its pre-emptive rights.
LOTOS Asfalt's latest product, Modbit 45/80-55 CR rubber-modified bitumen, has been used to cover 3 km of road from Sztum (Province of Gdańsk) to Postolin. In comparison to standard road surface materials, pedestrians and drivers will particularly appreciate its reduced traffic noise and higher resistance to rut formation.
During the Ninth Autostrada-Polska Trade Fair in Kielce, LOTOS Asfalt won a medal for its bitumen modified with rubber.
More than 50% of accidents related to bitumen handling occur during unloading.To prevent such accidents, LOTOS Asfalt has designed an education campaign called “Be safe when working with bitumens”, and produced a video guide on how to deliver bitumens to construction sites safely. The videos are available at lotosasfalt.pl. They are also played during training sessions organised for all supply chain participants – from customers and carriers to production plant personnel.
