„During the discussions, an analysis was conducted of the current stage of the dialogue between Romgaz and Ameropa Romania regarding the acquisition of the Azomureș chemical fertilizer production complex. Negotiations between the two companies will begin soon, with a view to identifying a solution to conclude the transaction, in compliance with legal provisions, the applicable corporate framework, and the legitimate interests of the buyer,” reads the government’s report.
In the past 12 months, Azomures, Romania’s largest fertilizer producer, and state-owned Romgaz have held talks about a possible acquisition of the Targu Mures industrial platform, but negotiations stalled at the beginning of this year.
In 2024, Azomures logged record-high losses of RON505 million amid RON1.6 billion turnover.
According to market sources, Romgaz submitted a non-binding financial bid to Swiss group Ameropa, the owner of Azomures, but at a price below its expectations.
Romgaz reported RON6.05 billion turnover in the first nine months of 2025, up 7.42% from the year-earlier period, while net consolidated profit went up by 7.07% to RON2.43 billion.
