Sabic and ExxonMobil Chemical have selected Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia, as the location of a new joint venture plant that will produce 400 kilotonnes/year of EPDM/TPE, TPO, butyl rubber, SBR/PBR and carbon black to serve markets in Asia and the Middle East.
This will allow the joint venture to integrate the new set up with Kemya Al-Jubail Petrochemical, another Sabic/ExxonMobil joint venture already located in Al-Jubail. The project will also include a vocational
training institute and product application development and support centre.
