Located in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil, the business produces polyester staple fibre, with an annual capacity of 75,000 tonnes. The facility will be in close proximity to Indorama’s PET plant in Brazil.
Indorama says the acquisition will provide it with an opportunity to establish its global footprint in the fibres business in South America’s largest economy, Brazil, and participate not only in the large domestic market but also enjoy strategic and logistic advantages from established free trade agreements with other Latin America countries.
The demand in Brazil is expected to grow in response to a recent recovery in consumption, the company adds.
Last month, Indorama acquired European wool and wool-blend worsted yarn producer Schoeller Immobilien-und Beteiligungs GmbH, expanding its presence in Europe.
