The plant was built in 1933 and became the first manufacturer in the Soviet Union that obtained ammonia from a coke gas. "Stirol" means styrene.

"Stirol" is located in Horlivka and used to employ 4,500 people. [2] [1] The plant became situated in the separatist Donetsk People's Republic during the War in Donbas. [1] Separatist authorities have not been able to keep the plant open. [1]
