Dow “sets expectations” for Sadara project at UTECH Europe

20/05/2015
The 2015 edition of the UTECH Europe exhibition, which took place in Maastricht in April, Exhibitors, attracted 190 exhibitors, a 19% increased compared to the last time the event, which covers all aspects of the polyurethane industry, took place in 2012.

UTECH Europe will next take place in 2018.

Jon Penrice, global vice-president of Dow Polyurethanes, said after the event that it had provided his company with “a great platform for knowledge-sharing and collaboration”. Specifically, he said that, with one year to go before Dow opens a new “world-scale production site” for polyurethane at Sadara, in Saudi Arabia, UTECH Europe had given the company “a unique opportunity to set expectations” for the project, a joint venture with the Saudi government.
