New Plant in Etain
INEOS plans to open a new hand sanitiser plant in Etain, North East France, within the next ten days. This will be the fourth plant dedicated to producing hand sanitisers.
Production Milestone in Lavera
The company has met its ten-day target to build a hand sanitiser plant in Lavera, France, and has started production of one million bottles per month. This is part of their effort to address the critical shortage of hand sanitisers in France and Europe.
Focus on Medical and Personal Use
INEOS is prioritizing the needs of frontline medical and care services, as well as producing "pocket bottle" hand sanitisers for personal use. These products will adhere to World Health Organisation (WHO) specifications.
Raw Material Production
INEOS is a leading European producer of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and ethanol, the two key raw materials needed for hand sanitisers. The company is running its plants at full capacity and diverting more of these products to essential medical use, including the new INEOS factories.
Commitment to Healthcare
INEOS products are essential for various healthcare applications, including rubber gloves, PVC saline drips, syringes, ventilators, and medical tubing. The company also produces raw materials for soap, phenol for aspirin and paracetamol, and acetonitrile for pharmaceutical analysis.
