New 100kt ASA plant in Bayport/ Texas planned
ABS/ ASA plant in Altamira, Mexico will increase focus
on ABS production allowing
for an additional 70kt of ABS capacity
Investment reflects increased demand in focus industries
(Automotive, Construction, Electronics, Household, Healthcare),
supports future growth of our customers and
underlines the company’s
Triple Shift growth strategy
INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics,
announces today plans to increase capacity
for ASA and ABS in the Americas.
The plans include constructing
a new 100kt capacity ASA plant in Bayport, Texas
and increasing the ABS capacity at its ABS/ ASA plant
in Altamira, Mexico.
The planned ASA facility strengthens
the INEOS Styrolution position
as the only global producer
with ASA production capacity in all regions.
This will bring the company even closer
to their customer partners by supporting
their growth plans and continuing to provide
the same high quality products across all regions.
Bayport, in the Greater Houston Area,
will become the location of the new ASA plant.
The site was selected based upon its easy access to
* raw materials (e.g. being adjacent to
the INEOS Styrolution styrene monomer plant),
* low cost utilities and proximity
to major customer markets. Also,
* Bayport offers an excellent infrastructure
for domestic shipments and exports.
The new ASA plant in Bayport is expected
to be operational by the end of 2020
