“The situation that Nynas has found itself in due to the reorganisation has placed tough demands on all parties involved, and intolerable pressure on our staff. Our brand is still strong, and this is the result of efforts made by all the loyal and hardworking staff in Nynas. I would also like to express that we are sincerely grateful for the support received from our customers and suppliers. Our partnerships truly go beyond mere commercial transactions.”

Nynas reports that it is coming out of reorganization as a stronger company, with five‐year secured financing and a strong balance sheet. Following ownership changes, Nynas has not been subject to U.S. sanction regulations since May. According to Nynas, this has meant that it has been able to contract crude oil deliveries and to continue financing discussions under more favorable terms. During the reorganization, Nynas has secured good liquidity and cash flow through a reduction in overdue customer payments, a granted deferral of tax payments, and an agreement on inventory financing.

Nynas has also shifted to a new blend of feedstock during the past year. This was necessary due to U.S. sanctions against the export of Venezuelan crude, which used to be a major feedstock for the company. Nynas reports that several new feedstocks have been approved and processed following a change program at its refineries and supply chain. Nynas can run its refineries with 100% non‐Venezuelan feedstock without affecting the demands of consistent product quality. All necessary permits from the authorities needed for running new feedstocks have been secured. The product recipes have been adapted, and Nynas has the necessary approvals from its customers across the world.
