LyondellBasell
LyondellBasell is one of the world's largest plastics, chemical and refinery companies and the largest producer of polypropylene and polypropylene compounds. In addition, the company is a leading producer of propylene oxide, polyethylene, ethylene and propylene, a leading global producer of polyolefins and a manufacturer of refined products including biofuels. LyondellBasell promotes social responsibility and supports over 990 charities and local community projects. ALBIS has been a pan-European distributor of LyondellBasell's standard polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) since 2000. In addition, we represent LyondellBasell with the PP Compounds Hostacom™ in Eastern Europe. In 2013, the portfolio was extended with Catalloy specialties. The license agreement for Purell™ PE and PP for colored settings marked another milestone. Following the extension of the distribution contract until 2022, we look forward to continuing this success story.
With LyondellBasell, we can look back over many years to a business relationship that is characterized by success, trust and continuous shared growth. In the summer of 2017 we celebrated our 50th anniversary.
