LyondellBasell Closing Morris PP Unit; Shifting Production to Alternate Sites

摘要

Chicago-LyondellBasell last week said it is discontinuing polypropylene (PP) production at its Morris, 111., plant in the fourth quarter of 2008 and will shift production to other sites. "The decision to stop PP production at our Morris plant supports LyondellBasell's long-term strategy to rationalize and concentrate production in our . . . Spheripol and Spheri-zone process facilities," noted Yves Bonte, senior vice president of LyondellBasell's PP business.
