FRANKFURT, Germany, Oct. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

LyondellBasell today announces the start-up of a new catalyst production plant

at its Frankfurt, Germany, site. This announcement directly correlates to

investments in infrastructure projects, increased demand for polymers by a

growing population, particularly in emerging countries and the value of our

Hostalen ACP polyethylene (PE) technology. This technology supports the

increasing demand in high performance PE resins to produce raw materials for

pipes to safely transport water and materials to safely store and protect food

items.

"The expansion of our catalyst production capacity in Frankfurt secures the

supply of Ziegler Avant Z catalysts for our license technology customers

throughout the world," says LyondellBasell site manager Andrei Gonioukh.

"Operating one of the most advanced catalyst production facilities that is

using industry-leading production technology, this investment is also a

commitment to the catalyst production at the Frankfurt site and the growing

market for our products."

With over 60 years of experience, LyondellBasell offers a wide range of

catalysts, covering most processes for the production of polymers.  

LyondellBasell operates catalyst production facilities in Ferrara, Italy,

Frankfurt and Ludwigshafen, Germany and Edison, N.J., USA.
