In line with its philosophy, Indorama
is a market leader in all its business lines. An overview
of the same has been provided.
Polyester Filament
Yarns and Fibres
Indorama
commenced manufacturing of polyester in 1991 in Indonesia.
Since then, along with Indorama Ventures, Indorama has
emerged as the largest producer in the ASEAN region
with an annual capacity of 575,000 MT per year of polyester
filament yarns, polyester staple fibre and textile grade
chips.
Indorama produces a wide range of products ranging from
50 to 600 denier yarns and 0.9 to 1.4 denier fibres
including a variety of differentiated products viz.
differential shrinkage, micro filament, cationic dyeable,
stretch, bi-component and many other 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.
PET Resin
Indorama
Ventures is the 2nd largest PET resin producer in the
world. Indorama Ventures has grown rapidly over the
past few years with start-up of greenfield plants in
Lithuania and USA, and acquisitions in USA, Netherlands,
and the United Kingdom.
PET resins are used in quality bottling and packaging
applications for mineral water, carbonated soft drinks,
beverages, beer and food
Purified Terephthalic
Acid (PTA)
In 2006, Indorama Ventures commissioned 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. Since
then, Indorama Ventures acquired Eastman Chemical Companys
PTA plant in Netherlands and a majority stake in another
PTA manufacturer in Thailand, TPT Petrochemicals. As
a result, Indorama Ventures is the 12th largest producer
of PTA in the world.
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 Ventures
has invested in advanced quality control systems and
equipment from leading global manufacturers.
Polyolefins
Indorama's
acquisition in 2006 of Eleme Petrochemicals in Nigeria
makes it Nigeria's largest olefins producer with an
annual capacity of 350,000 tons of polyethylene and
polypropylene resins. Elemes is also Africas
2nd largest polyolefin producer.
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
molding, toys, packaging etc
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 476K spindles. Indorama is probably the worlds
most global producer of spun yarns, with manufacturing
plants in 5 countries.
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 Wool yarns including various blends of
these fibres. It is a leader in the production of specialty
yarns such as Organic Cotton, Compact Yarns, Core-Spun
Spandex, Mélange, Slub Effects, and Linen blends.
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.
Fabrics
Indorama
started manufacturing polyester filament fabrics in
1994. 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 addresses
almost all requirements for fashion fabrics, eveningwear,
bottom-weights and summer wear.
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
