Indorama Ventures, a global leader in the petrochemical industry, is streamlining its European operations to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in the polyester filament yarn market. The company is consolidating its high-performance polyester filament yarn production in the region, concentrating its efforts around Milan, Italy.
Indorama Ventures’ fibres business Chief Operating Officer, Vipin Kumar, stated that while European customers appreciate the company’s expertise and local supply capabilities, they also demand high cost-competitiveness.
