Nornickel’s core business units are vertically integrated metals and mining operations. Since 2020, the main Company’s operations have been consolidated into divisions to accelerate decision making and improve accountability of production site management. In September 2024, two divisions – Norilsk and Kola, comprising the Group’s core operating assets, – were merged into the Polar Division to enhance operational efficiency and financial stability, streamline internal processes, and eliminate organisational barriers.

The Group also has an R&D facility based in Saint Petersburg, with branches in Norilsk and Monchegorsk. Other Group entities include geological enterprises, transport logistics entities with port terminals and a unique Arctic sea fleet, as well as a number of other auxiliary units.

The Group’s operations are managed and coordinated by its parent company, PJSC MMC NORILSK NICKEL, incorporated in Dudinka, Krasnoyarsk Territory. The Company’s Head Office is based in Moscow. As of the end of 2024, the Group comprised 105 companies, including foundations.

Production divisions: The Polar Division, located on the Taimyr and Kola Peninsulas in Russia, and the Trans‑Baikal Division, located in the Trans‑Baikal Territory.
The Energy Division comprises Nornickel’s own energy assets, most of which are located in the Arctic Circle.
Sales Network Companies manages its own international network of sales companies, distributing the Company’s products across the globe.
