According to market sources, Thailand-based Indorama Ventures has restarted one of its two PET lines in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. At the time of press, no details were disclosed regarding the expected restart date of the second line.
The company had to declare force majeure on PET supplies as a result of technical issues that took place in the latter part of November. The force majeure is likely to remain in place until the second line at the site resumes smooth operation, according to sources.
According to the company’s website, the facility has an older plant with a 190,000 tons/year production capacity, while the newer line can produce over 200,000 tons/year of PET.
