Brondeau noted the important role the Jubail facility will play as the company continues to target growth of its acrylic portfolio in fast-growing markets such as India, Southeast Asia and China.
“We continue to see strong demand for acrylic technology in paints and coatings, adhesives, detergent additives, and many other applications. Having dedicated monomer supply will strengthen our position in these important markets and accelerate our growth.”
Saudi Acrylic Monomer Company is 75 percent owned by TSOC; 25 percent by Rohm and Haas. When completed, the plant in Jubail will employ approximately 225 people. Rohm and Haas will consume the majority of the plant's production to supply the needs of its downstream businesses.
