An overview of the products and sectors that the Indorama Group operates in:

Spun Yarns
Established in 1976, spinning is the oldest business of Indorama. With a modest capacity of 25,000 spindles, Indorama's spun yarn business has since then grown exponentially in Indonesia and globally with current capacities of over 421,000 spindles. A wide range of products for apparel, non-apparel, sewing thread and industrial uses are manufactured at the spinning plants. Indorama manufactures Cotton, Polyester, Rayon, Acrylic and Linen yarns as also various blends of these fibres. It is a leader in the production of speciality yarns such as Organic Cotton, Core-spun Spandex, Mélange, slub effects and Linen blends. Speciality yarns constitute over a third of the output. Indorama's spun yarns are widely used for knitting and weaving and for the manufacture of carpets. Indorama also has modern and fully equipped yarn dyeing facilities that helps meet the customer's preference for dyed yarns.

Polyester Filament Yarns and Fibres
Indorama commenced manufacturing of Polyester in 1991 and has since then emerged as one of the largest producers in the ASEAN region with an annual capacity of over 270,000 mt per year of polyester filament yarns, polyester staple fibre and textile grade chips. Indorama produces a wide range of textile yarns and speciality products ranging from 50 to 600 denier yarns and 0.9 to 1.4 denier fibres including a variety of differentiated and customised products viz. differential shrinkage, micro filament, cationic dyeable, stretch, bi-component and many other specially tailored-made products. Polyester Yarns and Fibres produced by Indorama are suitable for many diverse applications such as fashion apparel, sports and performance wear, home furnishings, automotive upholstery, tapes and belts, medical and hygiene applications, luggage and sewing threads.

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA)
Indorama commissioned in 2006 one of the world's largest single train plant to manufacture 700,000 tpa of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) in Thailand, the major raw material used for polyester production. There is a growth in demand for PTA, particularly in Asia, driven by increasing end usages of polyesters in apparel, packaging and industrial applications. To ensure consistent high product quality, Indorama has invested in advanced quality control systems and equipment from leading global manufacturers.

Olefins, Polyethylene and Polypropylene
Indorama's acquisition in 2006 of Eleme Petrochemicals in Nigeria makes it Nigeria's largest olefins producer (by cracking natural gas liquids) with an annual capacity of 350,000 tons of Polyethylene and Polypropylene resins. HDPE finds use in plastic bags, containers, water pipes, lamination, liners, household containers like buckets, mugs, caps etc. LLDPE is used extensively for its high tensile strength and puncture resistance in water storage tanks, chemical tanks, garbage bins, general purpose film, laminations etc. Polypropylene has numerous applications like food packaging, textiles, plastic containers, injection moulding, toys, packaging etc

PET Resin
Indorama started its bottle grade PET resin operations in 1995 with the largest dedicated plant in the ASEAN region. PET resins are used in quality bottling and packaging applications for mineral water, carbonated soft drinks, beverages, beer and food.

Fabrics
Indorama started manufacturing Polyester filament greige fabrics in 1994. Subsequently, facilities for dyeing, printing and finishing were also added. We are a super store for polyester filament fabrics, inspired to mimic and improve the properties of Cotton, Wool, Silk, Linen and Viscose. The product range, called Spectrum, hosts a range of different constructions, yarns and finishes of greige, dyed and printed fabrics. The Spectrum range of fabric addresses almost all requirements for fashion fabrics, eveningwear, bottom-weights and summer wear. A large database of designs and a talented team of artists offer the customer unlimited choice of fabrics.

Cement
Indorama commissioned in 1999 its cement manufacturing plant in India. Its key products are Commando- PSC (Portland Slag Cement) and Durocem- GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag), which are well accepted in western India, its core market, where it has established a leadership position among blended cements. Indorama Cement has recently become a joint venture between the Indorama Group and Heidelberg Cement Group of Germany. Heidelberg is one of the largest cement conglomerates, operating in over fifty countries and among the top five cement companies in the world. This partnership will unlock growth opportunities.

Power Generation
Indorama set up in 2006 a captive coal fired cogeneration power plant of 60 MW in Indonesia to meet the requirements of steam and power at its main manufacturing complex to insulate itself from the rising fuel and electricity costs.

Medical Gloves
Established in 1989, the rubber gloves manufacturing plant is one of Indonesia's largest manufacturers and exporters of quality medical gloves made from natural latex and synthetic materials. The polychloroprene synthetic gloves have been patented by the Group.

Real Estate
Indorama has been engaged in real estate development since 1995 in Indonesia. The company has built three very prestigious office buildings in Jakarta, Indonesia with a built-up area of one million square feet.

Ammonia
Indorama Group is working towards setting up a greenfield project in Egypt to manufacture Ammonia from Natural Gas.
