Poland’s JSW to merge two coking plants

Europe's largest coking coal producer Poland-based Jastrzebska Spolka Weglowa SA (JSW) has announced that it is merging its two coking plants Kombinat Koksochemiczny Zabrze (KKZ) and Koksownia Przyjazn (KP).
 
With the integration, JSW aims to optimize its investment process, as well as simplify its management system. The merger will also unify the cost management reporting process of both plants.
 
JSW also stated that it will increase its coal output in 2012 by 700,000 mt, less than the originally planned increase.
