We are committed to the pursuit of a working circular economy, safeguarding our natural resources, and to creating a sustainable future for all.

Shaping your world, responsibly

We have grown to become the second largest polymer producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are the only producer of High Density Polyethylene and Polyethylene Terephthalate, as well as a prominent Polypropylene producer.

Innovation every day

Our leading products include

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a top‑quality thermoplastic material used for injection and stretch blow‑moulding of bottles used for mineral water, carbonated soft drinks, fruit juice, dairy products, edible oils, and cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is polymerised from ethylene to produce a plastic with excellent stiffness and environmental‑stress crack resistance. It offers superb chemical resistance and low water absorption, while also being easily processed and machined.

We are proud to be one of the top Polypropylene (PP) producers in Africa today. PP is a lightweight, moderately high melting point plastic with high stiffness, hardness and strength. It is produced from propylene monomer as a homopolymer or as a copolymer with ethylene.

Our science

Our aim has always been to be the leading producer of value-creating and quality polymers for the Southern African market. By doing so, we aim to generate growth for our stakeholders through technology and innovation which complements the full value chain.
