LyondellBasell will shut down two polypropylene (PP) lines in Wesseling, Germany, by mid-2012. The lines, with a combined capacity of 90,000 tpa, are among the company’s smallest and oldest PP production units. “We continue to focus on reducing costs to maintain our competitive position in Europe,” said Bob Patel, senior vice president of olefins and polyolefins for the company’s Europe, Asia and international segment. We have sufficient capacity to meet the needs of our customers in Europe from our larger scale facilities.
