Borealis inaugurates catalyst plant at Linz location
Borealis inaugurated a new catalyst plant at their Linz location. The company has invested EUR 100 million in the construction of this facility which will produce chemical substances – so-called catalysts – utilising the proprietary Borealis Sirius catalyst technology. Catalysts enable a precise alignment of plastics properties with varying demands and requirements and help determine, among other things, the hardness, plasticity and/or elasticity of end products.
The opening of the new catalyst plant in Linz is a central pillar of the growth strategy within the Borealis polyolefins business segment. Since 2007, the company has already invested EUR 50 million in the development of its Innovation Headquarters in Linz, inaugurated in 2009. The construction of the catalyst plant involves an additional investment of EUR 100 million. Upon commencement of full operations at the plant, 35 new employees will join the existing 1,250 currently employed in Linz.
