Jam Petrochemical Plant, a leading polypropylene producer in Iran, has approached its nominal output capacity of polypropylene, said a senior company official in a report.

The company’s production reached 48,000 tonnes in the two months to May 20, Kambiz Mirkarimi, CEO of Jam Petrochemical Plant, was quoted as saying in an Iran Daily News report.

He said the plant has exported 21,000 tonnes of its products while selling the remainder in the domestic market.

Mirkarimi said that the company earned $20 million in export revenues.

He noted that the plant managed to raise its output due to the boost in feedstock provided by upstream petrochemical suppliers.

Jam Petrochemical Plant produces 300,000 tonnes of polyethylene annually, added the report.
