(Sabic) -- Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), one of the world's top six petrochemical companies, officially opened on 22nd of November its state-of-the-art polyolefin logistics centre in north-east England, which is replacing SABIC's current logistics centre in the UK. Located in Middlesbrough, Cleveland, the new facility underlines SABIC's long-term commitment to serving its UK customers.
The centre's fully scaleable design will ensure that SABIC is equipped to meet current and future market demand for all the products in its broad polyolefin portfolio, which includes Linear Low Density Polyethylene film (LLDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP).
Commenting on the new facility, Raf Bemelmans, European Director for the Polymer Supply Chain: ⌠Our investment in this logistics centre demonstrates SABIC's faith in the UK market as a long-term consumer of polyolefin materials. The centre's logistics systems will enable us to support the growing use of bulk polymer handling operations that eliminate the need for manual interventions, such as ripping and tipping'.
