Investment in Wingles Site

INEOS Styrolution plans a significant investment in its Wingles, France, site to meet the growing demand for ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) in Europe. The site, which has focused on polystyrene production, will now add ABS production to its portfolio.

Increased ABS Demand

The changes are driven by increased demand for ABS solutions from key industries such as Automotive, Household, Electronics, Healthcare, Construction, and Packaging in Europe. This strategic move aims to enhance the company's ability to serve these markets more effectively.

Production Line Conversion

One of the existing three polystyrene production lines at the Wingles site will be converted into an ABS production line. The planned capacity for the new ABS production line is approximately 50,000 tonnes per year. This conversion will leverage the existing production infrastructure at the site.

Operational Timeline

The ABS production site in Wingles is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2020. This timeline reflects the company's commitment to quickly addressing market needs and expanding its production capabilities.
