In a bid to provide effective services to its customers and utilize resources more efficiently, LyondellBasell plans to consolidate its North America-based polypropylene (PP) compounding production, sales, marketing and technology activities. This decision to consolidate its activities related to PP compounding follows its acquisition of Solvay Engineered Polymers, Inc. in February this year.
Sales, marketing and technology activities currently conducted at the Auburn Hills site will be relocated to the company's expanded Advanced Polyolefins Business & Development Center in Lansing, Mich. PP compounding facility in Grand Prairie, Texas, will be closed. Production will be moved to the company's nearby Mansfield, Texas plant, and to its new plant in Altamira, Mexico, scheduled to come on-stream this year.
