The deal with Indorama Ventures for the sale
of the PTA/PIA/PET business is subject to regulatory approval.
Cepsa´s polyester business is highly integrated and efficient, having a relevant
position in the European market.
The Company´s overriding aim was to ensure that the business would be sold to a
world leader in the sector, and that working conditions for all employees at the
site would remain unaffected.
Cepsa plans to focus on markets where it has a stronger presence and is able to
develop its assets to their full potential, such as its
Phenol/Acetone and LAB/LABSA operations in
Spain, Canada, Brazil, China and Indonesia.
Cepsa will continue to supply the petrochemical facility with raw materials as
well as fuel and heat to run the plant. The Company will also continue to handle
maintenance operations through a service contract.

Cepsa closes sale of its PTA business in Canada to Indorama
Cepsa concluded the sale of its purified terephtalic acid (PTA, raw material used to produce polyester) industrial plant in Montreal to Thailand-based Indorama as part of its strategy to focus on higher growth petrochemical areas where it is a leader.
The sale, which was first announced in March, has been concluded following regulatory approval by the competition authorities.
Cepsa´s main aim during the sale process is to guarantee that its PTA business, which makes the raw material used to produce polyester, is sold to a world leader in the sector, and that workers´ rights are not affected. The sale of the Canadian PTA plant will allow Indorama to become an integrated player in the PET market in North America.
Meanwhile, the sale allows Cepsa to focus its plans on those markets where it has a strong presence and ability to develop to their full potential the assets that it has, such as in its phenol, acetone and LAB/LABSA (raw material used to produce detergents) businesses in Spain, Canada, Brazil, China, and Indonesia.
Indorama is a world leader in the production of polyester and the acquisition gives it a stronger position in the North American market. Indorama consumes around 1.1 million tons of PTA a year in North America, for the subsequent production of PET. The company has 14,000 staff and an annual turnover of $7.5 billion.

Aloke Lohia, Group CEO of Indorama
Ventures, said, “2015 was a truly transformative year for IVL and the
transactions signed up are a game changer for the industry. Our industry
faces continually new challenges and IVL has taken these times as an
opportunity to remain focused and surge ahead to deliver a distinct and
compelling investment platform with scale advantages, technology
ownership and innovative products which our customers can rely upon,
creating the IVL differentiation.”
IVL is firmly on track to fulfill on its 2015 capital day announcement,
which was re-affirmed in its mid-year strategy review in July 2015, to
achieve double-digit EBITDA margins and 2X core EBITDA growth by the end
of 2018 compared with 2014, which saw a core EBITDA of $600 million. At
the same time IVL aspires to achieve 4X core EPS growth by end 2018 over
2014.
The below-mentioned transactions will
be major accelerators in IVL’s ongoing transformation, through which we
are creating significant growth and portfolio enhancement to each of our
three powerful verticals: PET, Feedstock’s and High Value Add (HVA)
businesses that are interlinked and are synergistic to deliver enhanced
value for all our shareholders and our customers.

PET usage per head is just 0.6 KG per
annum in India compared to 2.6 KG per annum in China and 10.9 KG per annum
in USA. This joint venture is a win-win for both producers with 700,000
tonne/annum of combined capacity in the strongest growth market having a
population in excess of a billion people, as well as having favorable trade
agreements with logistically advantaged countries in the region. The joint
venture will gain significant synergy benefits being the sole producer of
PET Resin in North and East India and with both sites being effectively
integrated with third party PTA suppliers, which will bring savings in SG&A
and procurement. IVL’s global market reach and high utilization rates are
expected to supplement Haldia’s location benefit at Eastern India’s largest
port while MicroPet enjoys a strong location advantage in the high-demand
territory of North India.
Mr. Aloke Lohia, Group CEO and Founder of IVL said, “This joint venture will
allow us to gain the highest benefits by covering a larger geographical area
of the fast-growing India market with a complementary and experienced
partner. India has a well-educated and booming middle class that will
embrace the modern, hygienic lifestyle offered by PET packaging.”
Mr. C. K. Dhanuka, Chairman of Dhunseri said, “Dhunseri believes that coming
years will bring opportunities for expansion in the Petrochem sector and
this joint venture will bring scale benefits to all stakeholders. The
Indian JV between both the organizations will benefit from IVL’s global
presence and technological leadership.”

December 1, 2015Thailand's Indorama Ventures acquires PET maker MicroPet
MicroPet is the sole polyethylene terephthalate (PET) manufacturer in Northern India with a production capacity of 216,000 tonnes
Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL), the Thailand-based producer of intermediate petrochemicals, has acquired Micro Polypet Private Limited (MicroPet), a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) manufacturer. MicroPet has a manufacturing plant in Panipat (Haryana) with a capacity of 216,000 tonnes.
“This is a unique opportunity for us to establish a foothold in one of the world’s fastest-growing developing economies. The acquisition strategically extends our footprint and scale and enhances our relationship with the world’s fast moving consumer goods brands, all of who have their eye on this huge consumer market,” Aloke Lohia, group CEO of Indorama Ventures.
MicroPet is the sole PET manufacturer in Northern India and has virtual integration with the Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) for its two major feedstocks - purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono-ethylene glycol (MEG). Currently, MicroPet has approximately 12 percent of the capacity share in India, a country with a population of 1.25 billion. It utilises melt-to-resin technology that Indorama Ventures has experience with at its AlphaPet plant in Alabama, USA.
Aloke Lohia added, “We are entering at the early stages of PET usage as just 0.6 kg of PET per annum is consumed in India today compared to 2.6 kg per annum in China and 10.9 kg per annum in the US. Since we are now firmly established in two of Asia’s largest population centers, China and Indonesia, India has been the missing piece of our Asian market access.”
