Sabic, a global leader in the chemical industry, has announced the start-up of its new polypropylene (PP) compounding line in Genk, Belgium with a virtual inauguration event.
The new line is an addition to the company’s existing production capacity for Sabic polypropylene compounds at the Genk site and will use raw materials from Sabic’s PP plants at Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and Geleen, The Netherlands.

The unique virtual opening was presided over by Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh, Executive Vice President for Petrochemicals, and other Sabic executives, providing insight on how customers can benefit from the company’s extended capacity to drive innovation in their markets.
“We all are seeing industries evolve rapidly, with an increasing demand for high-performance PP compounds that are lighter, yet strong and durable while meeting rigorous standards,” said Al-Fageeh. “At Sabic, we are playing our part by relentlessly pursuing cutting-edge technologies, both in production and new material development. This new production line will support our company’s strategy to develop new sustainable material solutions that help our customers achieve their goals, as we work with them in ever-closer collaboration.”
