Central & Eastern Europe PET industry in Transition – Rationalisation, Restructuring, Integration

Intense competition heats up as additional 350.000 tons/ year will be added to the market from  Indorama’s new plant and rival Neo Group’s 2nd line coming up. In addition new capacities announced by Russian producers – Senege, Polief, Sibur will cause concern among European producers.

How does the future look for regional PET sellers? With raw materials price still at a high – and impending shortage of PX , can PET producers see improve margins in the near future ?

Who will stay in the game and who will emerge as leading players ? Latest in the news  is the string of rationalizations with La Seda buying up Eastman plant in Spain and Wellman looking to sell its European operations

What is the impact of additional materials in the market ? Will new plants curb flow of imports from Asian suppliers?

The high price of raw materials complements the trend towards light weight preforms. PET producers are also investing in cost effective production processes, like the MTR Uhde Inventa Fisher technology that claims to save more than 30% of conversion costs from PTA/EG to PET.
