Haldor Topsoe 'keen on Iran petchem projects'

TEHRAN, October 23, 2016

Denmark’s Haldor Topsoe, a global technology, catalyst and services vendor to the petrochemical and refining industry, has  expressed interest to take part in projects to produce new petrochemical products in Iran, a senior official has said.

Marzieh Shahdaei, managing director of National Petrochemical Company, said she had discussed several areas for potential cooperation with top officials from Haldor Topsoe during a meeting on the sidelines of the K Trade Fair 2016 in Germany, a Press TV report said.

She said the company was specifically interested in supplying Iran’s petrochemical projects with technical licenses.

Further areas of cooperation between Iran’s NPC and the Danish firm include the construction of catalyst plants and also plants to produce methanol, urea and ammonia, it added.

Haldor Topsoe recently opened its offices in Tehran, Iran.

With the new office, Topsoe will reinforce its already strong ties with Iranian petrochemical and refining companies, the company said.

“We are excited to open the new office and resume the great working relationship with Iran and the companies here. It means that we are close to our Iranian customers and partners so we can be the responsive and agile business partner they need,” said Per K Bakkerud, executive vice president of Topsoe’s chemical business unit and the EMEA region.

Managing director Jens Ole Madsen heads Topsoe’s Tehran office and has spent several months in the country already. He said: “Iran’s unique combination of abundant natural resources and highly skilled people holds enormous potential. In our recent deals within methanol and ammonia, it has been confirmed that Topsoe’s leading products and services can be very relevant in realizing this potential, in some cases combined with the financing services we offer through our joint venture Ferrostaal Topsoe Projects.”

The event attracted a large number of top executives from the Iranian refining and petrochemical business, who listened to speeches by Hossein Alimorad, investment director of the National Petrochemical Company, and other prominent speakers.
