SABIC continued its global expansion with the inauguration of a new polypropylene (PP) pilot plant in Geleen, the Netherlands, and also announced new investment in a PP extrusion facility to be built at the same location. The highly automated PP extrusion line is expected to be in operation in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Yousef Al-Benyan, SABIC vice chairman and CEO, and the Dutch minister of economic affairs, Henk Kamp, were present at the opening ceremony for the pilot plant.
“It’s about innovative thinking, extending and improving our portfolio, and – as we are showing here today – investing in technology and innovation,” said Al-Benyan.
“The new pilot plant is a welcome addition and I’m sure this investment will make a useful, long-term contribution to our economy and the growth of the chemical industry,” said Kamp.
