TA’ZIZ has entered into two long-term agreements with The Sanmar Group, a global producer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and specialty chemicals. These agreements will see TA’ZIZ supply over 350,000 tonnes per year of ethylene dichloride (EDC) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) to Sanmar’s operations in Egypt and India. The deals, which range from five to ten years in duration, were signed during ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi.
The signing took place in the presence of Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, as well as Ambassador Navdeep Suri, former Indian Ambassador to the UAE and Egypt, Chairman of TCI Sanmar Chemicals, and board member of The Sanmar Group.
Under these agreements, EDC and VCM produced at the TA’ZIZ Chemicals Industrial Zone in Al Ruwais Industrial City will be exported for the first time from the UAE. The chemicals are essential feedstocks for PVC production. They will support Sanmar’s manufacturing facilities located in Port Said, Egypt and Cuddalore, India.
Mashal Al-Kindi, CEO of TA’ZIZ stated: “These agreements underscore TA’ZIZ’s commitment to become a reliable supplier of high-quality petrochemical products to global markets. We are pleased to partner with The Sanmar Group to support their growth ambitions in Egypt and India as we enable industrial development and economic diversification in the UAE. These agreements build on the existing robust economic ties between the UAE and India offering further long-term collaboration opportunities and value addition between the two partners.”
Vijay Sankar, Chairman of The Sanmar Group commented: “We are pleased to initiate our strategic relationship with TA’ZIZ. These long-term agreements reflect our shared commitment to operational excellence, sustainability, and long-term value creation.”
The TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone is expected to reach an annual production capacity of 4.7 million tonnes by 2028 when construction is complete. Its largest facility is dedicated to PVC production with a marketable output capacity covering caustic soda, EDC, PVC, and VCM totaling 1.9 million tonnes per year. Additional plants within the zone include a one million tonne per annum ammonia plant and a 1.8 million tonne methanol plant.
Through these developments, TA’ZIZ aims to strengthen its position as a key supplier for international markets while supporting domestic industrial growth aligned with national strategies such as Operation 300Bn.
