Borealis, the Austria-based manufacturer of polyolefins, base chemicals and fertilisers, plans to build a dedicated automotive polypropylene (PP) compounding plant in Taylorsville, North Carolina (USA).
Together with Borouge, a joint venture between Borealis and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), the company is increasingly well positioned to serve its automotive customers on a global basis. North Carolina has been selected for its strategic location and proximity to the company's customer base, as well as for the business-friendly and supporting environment of the state and the county.
The new facility will help to secure the position of Borealis as a local supplier
