Russia – German firm thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions has struck a deal worth EUR 150 million with the Russian joint-stock company POLYESTER PLANT IVANOVO to build a new PET polymer and staple fibre production plant in the Ivanovo region.
The new facility with ‘best-in-class technology’ will have an annual production capacity of up to 200 000 tons of polyester polymer, planned to be built roughly 250 km northeast of Moscow. The contract awarded to thyssenkrupp includes engineering, procurement and the supervision of erection and commissioning.
‘The new PET production plant will be the centrepiece of a production complex for synthetic fibres. Its construction is aimed at overcoming the dependence of the region’s textile enterprises on imported commodities,’ so says thyssenkrupp. ‘We have a proven track record of providing our customers in Russia with leading polycondensation technologies and equipment,’ comments Sami Pelkonen, ceo of the Electrolysis & Polymers Technologies business unit of thyssenkrupp.
‘Commencing with the basic engineering we utilised our experience from numerous successfully realised orders in the country to create a solid foundation for this project.’
