Poland’s Ciech starts imports, sales of Iranian polyolefins

LONDON (ICIS)–Poland’s CIECH Group said on Thursday it has started importing and selling Iranian polyolefins.

Through the company’s Ciech Trading subsidiary, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) products would be sourced from three Tehran-based producers, namely Jam Petrochemical Company (JPC), Jam Polypropylene Company (JPPC) and Persian Gulf Petrochemial Industry Commercial Company (PGPICC).

“Our strategy is to create a global chemical concern as part of Ciech Group. New trading contacts in the Middle East are translating into an expansion of Ciech Trading’s offer [and] we want the distribution of high-quality plastics on the European market to be a hallmark of Ciech Trading,” said Artur Osuchowski, a management board member at Ciech.

Ciech Trading said it could now offer around 200 types of plastics, with products not only for the packaging industry but also for the automotive, agriculture, construction and electronics industries.

“We have the very first good references from European customers who bought our polyolefins from Iran,” said Urszula Ros, sales director at Ciech Trading.
