Draslovka Holding a.s. is a Czech chemical group headquartered in Kolín that produces sodium cyanide and related chemicals for industrial applications, including mining. One of the largest global companies in the production and distribution of sodium cyanide.[1]
In 2024, Draslovka announced plans to partner with Austria-based Petrochemical Holding GmbH (PCH), chaired by Iakov Goldovskiy, on a sodium cyanide project in Alexandria, Egypt, oriented toward exports and supported by Egypt’s petroleum ministry and cabinet-level investment discussions.[2][3]
Ownership
Czech reporting has described Draslovka as controlled by the Brůžek family and the investment group BPD Partners.[4]
Planned Alexandria, Egypt project
According to Egypt’s Cabinet and local press, the Alexandria-area project discussed with Draslovka and PCH is intended to produce sodium cyanide and derivatives, with most output aimed at export markets.[3][2]
Egyptian state-linked press has also described the associated project company (“DrasChem for Petrochemicals”) as an effort to localize sodium cyanide technology in Egypt and as the first sodium cyanide plant project of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa, with initial planned annual output of roughly 50,000–55,000 tonnes and expansion potential in a second phase.[5]
