Polyester manufacturer Far Eastern New Century (FENC) has acquired a 90% stake in US PET recycler Phoenix Technologies International. It paid approximately $10 million as part of this deal.

The Taiwanese company has said Phoenix’s plant in Bowling Green Ohio, has an output of 36,000 tonnes of recycled PET per year. 

This is Far Eastern’s third investment in the US in the past 18 months. It was part of a joint venture that acquired a plant in Corpus Christi, Texas in January. Prior to that, it bought a PET plant in West Virginia from M&G Polymers.
