The Petrochemical Company of Pernambuco (PetroquímicaSuape) is a venture led by the Petrobras Química S.A. (Petroquisa), to implement the Petrochemical Complex of Suape, consisting of three integrated industrial units: one for the Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production, another for the polyester polymer and filament production (former Citepe), and a third one for resin for PET packaging manufacturing.
When in operation, PetroquimicaSupae will be the most important integrated complex for polyester production in Latin America, located in the Industrial Complex Port of Suape in Ipojuca, Pernambuco.
The choice of cutting-edge technology scale at the same level of the largest industries operating in the world and the integration of industrial units. This represent the main competitive differentials of PetroquimicaSuape, which initiates the operation of the three plants by the end of 2011.
The Petrochemical Complex of Suape is a part of the portfolio of strategic projects of Petrobras, and is included in the Brazilian Federal Government PAC – Program for Acceleration of Growth .
