“The Company is reliant for its working capital on funds provided to it by the Company's parent undertaking, OCI Chemicals B.V., in the current year. Post year end, the company was acquired by the Methanex Corporation, and now relies on its new parent company, Methanex Fuels Europe B.V., who has confirmed that it will continue to make such funds available to the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and, in particular, will not seek repayment of the amounts currently made available. This should enable the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “On 27 June 2025, the company was acquire by Methanex Corporation, a company registered in Canada.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
