About Borealis

Borealis AG (Borealis Group) is an Austria-based chemical company focused on polyolefins and base chemicals. Headquartered in Vienna, it operates manufacturing and innovation sites across Europe and, through partnerships, in the Middle East and North America. The company is majority-owned by OMV, with a minority stake held by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). Borealis co-owns Borouge (with ADNOC) in the UAE and Bayport Polymers “Baystar” (with TotalEnergies) in the United States.

Borealis develops and produces polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), including grades made with its Borstar process, for applications in packaging, infrastructure (pipe and energy cable materials), mobility, and healthcare. Its Hydrocarbons & Energy activities supply olefins and aromatics and provide feedstocks to its polymer operations. The company has divested its fertilizers, melamine, and technical nitrogen business to concentrate on polymers and feedstocks.

Borealis invests in circular and lower-carbon materials, including mechanical and advanced recycling (Borcycle) and renewable-based polymers (Bornewables). Many products and sites use mass-balance certification schemes such as ISCC PLUS. Research and development centers in Austria, Sweden, and Finland support resin, process, and application development.
