Borealis: Sale of French compounding unit
Borealis has sold its compounding unit in Cublize, France, to the plant’s management. The plant produces 15,000 tonnes a year of polyethylene, polypropylene and engineering polymers compounds for use mainly in the automotive and appliance industries. It has been named AD Majoris, and Borealis is to purchase compound grades not produced by its other sites.
Borealis’ European compound production will be focused now on its integrated sites at Beringen in Belgium and Schwechat in Austria. The Monza site in Italy will be developed as a non-integrated site.
