歴史 (Petkim's annual report)

The petrochemical industry has started to develop in the second half of the 20th century and become one of the essentials in economy in a short time due to usage, durability, price advantages and versatility of its products, which can substitute various natural raw materials.
The idea of establishing a petrochemical industry in Turkey was adopted in 1962, which was the beginning of the First Five Year Development Plan period.
Petkim Petrokimya A.S. was established on April 3, 1965 under the leadership of TPAO, following the studies and evaluations performed.
The new company initially decided to establish
Yarimca Petrochemical Complex and started up the Ethylene, Chlorine Alkali, VCM, PVC and LDPE plants in 1970. The establishment stage of the Yarimca Petrochemical Complex was completed after the commissioning of CB, Styrene, PS, BDX, SBR, CBR, DDB and Caprolactam plants between the years 1972 - 1976.
Due to the rapidly growing domestic demand, Yarmca Complex had started to become insufficient to meet the increasing demand although the production capacities of most of the plants were expanded by 100%. The establishment of second complex of Petkim
at Aliaga was agreed during the Third Five Year Development Plan period.
In Aliaga Complex, the plants which do not exist at Yarimca such as Aromatics, HDPE, PP, PA, PTA, ACN and EO/EG and the plants which exist at Yarimca but being insufficient in capacities such as Ethylene, LDPE, Chlorine Alkali, VCM and PVC, were established with highly advanced technologies and optimum capacities of those days and start-ups of the plants were realized progressively starting from the year 1985. The capacities of the plants in Alia.a complex were increased with the first phase expansion and modernization investments that realized between 1989 and 1993.
Most of the plants in Yarimca Complex were closed in the period 1993-1995 because they had completed their economic lives and had lost their competitiveness.
Petkim transferred Yarimca Complex with its 5 plants (SBR, CBR, CB, BDX, PS) in operating position
to TUPRAS on November 1, 2001.
Petkim, as the sole producer of basic petrochemicals and the biggest producer of thermoplastics and intermediates, is the leader company of Turkish petrochemical industry. Apart from Petkim, the other petrochemical companies in Turkey are
SASA (240 000 tons/year DMT), TUPRAS (33 000 tons/year SBR, 20 000 tons/year CBR, 40 000 tons/year CB, 33 000 tons/year BDX, 27 000 tons/year PS) and Bafler Petrokimya (40 000 tons/year PS).


PETKIM PETROKIMYA HOLDING A.S.

Petkim Petrokimya Holding A.S., founded 1965, is one of the biggest enterprises in Turkey and is the main producer and dealer of petrochemicals.

Turkey's Petkim privatization to be completed Q2 2003

Turkish Petrochemical firm, Petkim Petrokimya, expects its privatization process to be complete within the first half of the year. On Jan 20, the government launched a tender for the block sale of a 51% controlling interest in Petkim, company sources confirmed.

Petkim is currently 93% owned by the Turkish government, and 7% by private investors.


London (Platts)--30May2003

Four companies to bid for Turkey's Petkim 51% stake Jun 6

Four companies are set to submit bids in Turkey's tender for the sale of a minimum 51% shares in the country's sole petrochemical producer, Petkim, on Jun 6, a Petkim source told Platts, Friday.
The tender was floated on Apr 2. The four bidders are
Standard Kimya AS, a Turkish chemicals company, Sanko Kimya Ltd, a Turkish chemicals and textiles group, ChemOrbis, a Turkish e-marketplace for chemicals and plastics, and Vakiflar Bank, one of Turkey's largest public banks.

Raids on Two Uzan Companies Expose Mismanagement History

The Uzan family's Rumeli Holding, which is engaged in far-ranging activities from media to telecoms, the cement industry and finance to power distribution, is accused of sucking its two publicly traded affiliates dry and illicitly pumping their profits into its other subsidiaries.

Turkey/ Privatization body cancels tender for petrochemical plant

A statement of the board said that Standart Kimya Inc. which was awarded with the Petkim tender did not fulfil conditions of the decision of the board taken on 30 July 2003 within 30 days of time.

---

Standart Kimya of the Uzan family was initially awarded the bid for the Petkim Privatization for $605 million. This was the minimum floor value set for this privatization--one of the first privatization announcements for this year.  Due to current actions against the Uzan family, Standart Kimya was not able to make its initial down payment for Petkim during the 30 days allotted following the award announcement.

Turkey's Sabanci eyes further nylon acquisitions in China: CEO

Turkey's
Sabanci subsidiary, Kordsa plans to expand further into China, CEO Mehmet Pekarun has said. Turkey's Kordsa acquired a 99.5% stake in Chinese nylon company IQNE Qingdao Nylon Friday from Invista, which Pekarun called a "first step."
IQNE Qingdao Nylon has an annual capacity of only 3,000 mt/yr of nylon 6 cord, and will be turning the cord into fabric. Kordsa would then sell the finished tire fabric to Chinese tire manufacturers.


Kordsa

Kordsa, Incorporated started operations as DuPont-Sabanci International, LLC in December 2000 combining the nylon industrial heavy decitex yarn and tirecord fabric businesses of E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co. of the USA and Sabanci Holding of Istanbul, Turkey.  The company has manufacturing operations in seven countries with headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, USA.

In April 2005 Sabanci Holding purchased from DuPont its equity interest in the company, and the company was renamed Kordsa International effective July 01, 2005.  Also effective July 01, 2005 the company has added and is beginning to integrate into its operations the polyester tirecord operations of Sakosa Sabanci Endustrieyel Iplik ve Kord Bezi Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. located in Izmit, Turkey and Cobafi - Companhia Bahiana de Fibras, located in Camacari, Brazil. 

The company is one of the largest suppliers of nylon and polyester industrial yarn, tirecord and industrial fabrics and single end cord with capacity over 150 thousand metric tonnes per annum, approximately 15 percent of the global textile rubber reinforcement industry.  The company operates nine manufacturing sites with a total of approximately 2900 employees and has an annual turnover of approximately $700 million.

DuPont and Sabanci Holding Finalize Expanded Industrial Nylon Global
Joint Venture Agreement

DuPont and Sabanci Holding today announced the completion of an agreement to further expand their multi-regional alliance for industrial nylon. The new 50/50 joint venture creates the world's leading global supplier of heavy decitex nylon industrial yarn and tire cord fabric with over 100KT capacity. DuPont-Sabanci International, LLC, started operations at year-end 2000 and will use the tradename of DUSA International (DUSA) with headquarters located in Wilmington, Del.

"DuPont and Sabanci have a long history of cooperation dating back more than 25 years, including the formation of the DUSA yarn manufacturing joint venture in Izmit, Turkey, in 1987," said Guler Sabanci, DUSA chairperson. "Sabanci and DuPont share many core values which form the basis of our successful cooperation over the years. I am pleased to see this expansion of our alliance in industrial nylon."

"DUSA International will operate as one global business dedicated to meeting the needs of its customers in tires, mechanical rubber goods, cordage, and webbing better than any other nylon supplier," said Peter Hemken, chief executive officer of the new company. "This combination offers many benefits, among them the scale and resources to invest, renew and add value to our offerings for customers."

The new company will operate with a total of eight manufacturing sites and estimated 2,300 employees worldwide. Manufacturing facilities are currently located in the United States, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, Germany and Egypt. North American business will be a part of the DUSA International entity. KORDSA Sabanci DuPont, the European business created in 1999 through the merger of the two companies' businesses in Europe, will become a subsidiary of DUSA International. Concurrently, DUSA Brazil and DUSA Argentina, formed in 1999, will also become subsidiaries of DUSA International.

DuPont, with over 60 years in the nylon industry, and Sabanci, with almost 30 years experience supplying dipped fabric, will combine their manufacturing and technology experience to benefit DUSA International customers. A number of facility modernizations are planned, under way or recently completed. A state-of-the-art nylon manufacturing facility began operation in Izmit, Turkey, late last year, replacing capacity that was retired with the closure of the DuPont plant in Doncaster, U.K., in 1999. A new fabric-treating unit also began operation last year in Camacari, Brazil. Twisting and weaving facilities in Camacari and also in Berazategui, Argentina, are being modernized this year, and construction of a new treating unit in Berazategui has begun with startup planned early in 2002.

The Sabanci Group has combined revenues of $10 billion and is one of the two largest industrial and financial conglomerates in Turkey. The Group employs approximately 30,000 people and operates in such diverse businesses as tire and tire reinforcement materials, banking, insurance, textiles, chemicals, automotive, cement, food and retail. The Group has grown both through expansion of existing businesses and by the formation of 50/50 joint ventures with multinationals such as Toyota, DuPont, Bridgestone, Philip Morris, Danone, Bekaert, CBR, Carrefour, Kraft foods International, BNP, Dresdner Bank and International Paper.

DuPont is a science company, delivering science-based solutions that make a difference in people's lives in food and nutrition; health care; apparel; home and construction; electronics; and transportation. Founded in 1802, the company operates in 70 countries and has 94,000 employees.

Kazakh consortium wins auction for 51 pct of Turkey's Petkim

Kazakhstan-based consortium
Transcentralasia Petrochemical Holding won the auction for 51 pct of Turkish petrochemical company Petkim with a bid of 2.05 bln usd.

In
June 2003, Turkey auctioned off 88.86 pct of the company to the controversial Uzan family empire for 605 mln usd, but cancelled the sell-off two months later after the Uzans failed to fulfil the required conditions amid financial difficulties.

A second tender in
August 2003 for the block sale of 88.86 pct failed because of lack of investor interest.

In
April 2005, 34.5 pct of the company's shares were sold to Turkish and foreign investors in a public offering that raised 267 mln usd.

Petkim controls one-third of the petrochemicals market in Turkey and employs about 4,000 people. Its net profit in 2006 was 40 mln usd.

Eight companies or consortiums have presented bids for a block sale of a 51% stake in Turkish petrochemical firm Petkim.
About 40% Petkim shares are already listed on the stock market and Ankara is now selling another 51% as part of a broad privatisation programme backed by its creditor, the International Monetary Fund.

The bidders are listed as follows:
Consortium listed as Socar & Turcas-Injaz joint investment group consisting of Turkish energy company Turcas and Azeri state oil company Socar and Saudi-based Injaz Projects.

A consortium of Turkish Limak group (construction, energy, cement) and Israel's biggest oil refiner Carmel Olefins

Carmel Olefinsdecision to participate in the tender was part of its strategy to expand internationally. Petrochemical Enterprises controlling shareholder David Federman managed the companys bid. Petrochemical Enterprises CEO Eran Schwartz said, The winning bid seemed us to be too high.He added that the company would continue to review investment opportunities in the energy sector.

Turkish court rejects attempt by trade union to halt Petkim sale

Turkey's highest court, the Danistay, has rejected an application by the Petrol Is trade union to halt the sale of the 51% controlling stake in Petkim, Turkey's dominant petrochemicals producer, on the grounds that the advertising for the tender was in breach of privatization regulations.



The tender for the sale of 51% of Petkim was completed in July with the winning bid of $2.05 billion being submitted by
Kazakh-Russian investment company, Trans Central Asia Petrochemical Holding, controlled by a US businessman of Armenian extraction, Ruben Vardanyan.

Earlier this month the
Turkish Privatization Administration announced that Turkey's Higher Privatization Council (OYK), a body consisting of the Prime Minister, senior ministers and bureaucrats, had decided to award the tender to the second highest bidder, a consortium of Turkish petroleum distributor Turcas, Azeri state oil company Socar and Saudi Injazz projects, which bid $2.04 billion.

The sale of 51% of Petkim to the Turcas-Socar-Injaz consortium now has only to be ratified by Turkey's competition board before it can be given the final go ahead, an approval that is expected to be issued within the next two weeks.
