Petrochemical - Profile

 

Sup Petrochem Ltd. is at the forefront of styrenics in India. And has a strong international presence as well. With a market share exceeding 50%, the company remains the undisputed leader in India . At the same time, exports to over 70 countries worldwide testify to SPL's considerable technological strengths.

SPL is promoted jointly by The Sup Industries Ltd., the country's largest plastic processors, and the well established, highly diversified R. Raheja Group. The company's state-of-the art manufacturing facility is located at a sprawling 350 acres complex at Amdoshi, 120 km from Mumbai.

Thanks to an ongoing expansion programme, the fully automated DCS controlled plant will soon have a total installed capacity of 272,000 TPA. This includes a dedicated, new generation 17,000 TPA Compounding facility, commissioned in 2002. Feasibility studies for an Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) project are also underway. Once implemented, it will add a further 40,000 TPA to the plant's overall capacity. The facility is powered by technology from the erstwhile Huntsman Chemical Corporation, USA (now with Nova Chemicals, Canada ).
