Basell has successfully completed an expansion of the largest polyolefin catalyst manufacturing facility in the world, sited in Ferrara, Italy. The plant produces Ziegler polyethylene and Ziegler-Natta polypropylene catalysts. Capacity has been expanded by 40%, to enable the plant to now supply catalysts for the production of 30 million tons of polyolefins.
The new catalyst capacity was added to support the several polypropylene and polyethylene licensees to whom Basell has granted process licenses in recent years, as well as to supply catalyst customers who produce polyolefins with non-Basell processes, especially gas phase polypropylene technologies.
