Indorama Ventures to Close Ethylene Oxide Plant in Australia

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--One of the companies immediately impacted by the closure of Australia's last ethylene-production plant is Indorama Ventures (Bangkok, Thailand), which uses ethylene from Qenos Pty Limited's (Altona, Victoria) facility to make about 100,000 tons per year of specialty chemicals including ethylene oxide, glycol ethers, glycols and surfactants. As a result, after 50 years of operation at its Botany Bay site, Indorama Ventures is now on the last stretch of production and will close its manufacturing facility in the third quarter, leaving just an office and technical center in Melbourne. Indorama Ventures acquired the production facility in 2020 from Huntsman.
