(plastemart) -- Octal has tripled its annual production capacity of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin this month with the commissioning of two of the world's largest vertical reactors at the company's leading-edge PET complex in Salalah.
With a total system output of 1 mln tpa of PET bottle grade resin, Octal has firmly secured its stature in the industry as the largest PET producing site in the world at any single location.
The company is now half way through its investment plan with additional capacity scheduled for 2015 and 2016. When complete, the site will manufacture a total of 2.5 mln tpa of PET and PTA.
Established in 2006 to meet the accelerating demand for PET sheet and PET resin, OCTAL has emerged as the largest PET resin manufacturer in the Middle East and the largest integrated PET sheet manufacturer in the world. Strategically located in the port city of Salalah on the southern coast of the Sultanate of Oman, OCTAL is well positioned to meet customer requirements from production to delivery.
