PUdaily | Updated: December 24, 2025
On December 19, by a letter, MOL disclose the details about the fire incident which was occurred in this October.
According to the letter, On 20 October 2025, a fire broke out in the AV3 crude distillation unit at the Danube Refinery. Based on the initial damage assessment, the fire was caused by equipment failure and the consequential disintegrity of a pump.
MOL anticipates that the reparation works will be completed, enabling the refinery to resume full capacityin Q3 2026. During the refurbishment period, MOL expects an average production loss of around 30%. With the damage investigation works still ongoing, and the scheduling of the engineering, procurementand construction works mostly based on very first expert-level estimates rather than evidence, theaforementioned time need for the repair works is subject to change.
The incident and its consequences do not directly affect the ongoing commissioning work at MOL’s PolyolComplex which is set to start in the near future.

Hennecke Sells to Brückner Group
Brückner Group acquires Hennecke
The Brückner Group continues to pursue its growth strategy with the acquisition of the Hennecke Group, which will expand the company’s global portfolio to include key technologies for machines, plants, and systems used in the processing of polyurethane (PUR). These technologies are the perfect complement to the existing range of services and products and will provide access to new markets.

Dr Axel Von Wiedersperg, CEO of the Brückner Group
As a global market leader with expertise in the field of reactive plastics, Hennecke brings additional material-based, high-tech solutions to the Group. This technology is suitable for use in many industries like construction, furniture, and refrigeration and creates new diversification potential. The agreement between the Brückner Group and a fund advised by Capvis AG, Switzerland, as the majority owner of the Hennecke GROUP was concluded on 3 December 2025. The transaction will be completed at the beginning of January 2026.
“With Hennecke, we’ve gained a highly specialized addition to our portfolio. Acquiring another market leader in technology enhances the Brückner Group’s product range in a sensible way and provides Hennecke with access to innovation power and a global presence,”
Dr Axel Von Wiedersperg, CEO of the Brückner Group, said.
Hennecke has an international network of sites in Germany, Italy, the US, and China, an industry-leading product portfolio of global, innovative systems and technologies with extraordinary economic and environmental benefits, and an excellent reputation in the plastics industry — especially outside of the packaging sector. This will ultimately allow the Brückner Group to tap into new product segments and reinforce its global base of expertise.
“The merger will not only result in bundled technological expertise and a global market presence, but also allow us to form the basis for expanding our position in the international PUR market. This step represents a natural progression of our Hennecke Business System and the FOCUS2030 strategy for sustainable growth. Working with the Brückner Group, we’ll be able to capitalize on innovation and growth potential much faster in the future,” Thomas Wildt, CEO and Hennecke Group.
Following completion of the transactions, the Brückner Group will consist of five business units – Brückner Maschinenbau, Brückner Servtec, Kiefel, PackSys Global, and in the future Hennecke PUR Solutions. The business units and our global network together ensure our financial strength, growth, and long-term stability. In this context, partnerships built on trust and our employees’ expertise are the cornerstones of our success. We operate in an agile and forward-looking manner to achieve our ultimate goal: making the manufacture of plastic products and packaging solutions sustainable. As one of Germany’s most sustainable medium-sized corporate groups, we conduct our business responsibly and in the interests of our global society and our international workforce.
