Recent Developments
In February 2019, SIBUR decided to launch an investment project aimed at enhancing polybutadiene rubber (Nd-BR) production efficiency at its Voronezh facility (Voronezhsintezkauchuk). The project aims for a large-scale upgrade to boost the operational efficiency of the existing facility and ensure the production of consistently high quality of products. This project will enable SIBUR to produce quality products with improved operational efficiency.
The major players in the polybutadiene market are ARLANXEO (Netherlands), JSR Corporation (Japan), UBE Industries Ltd. (Japan), SABIC (Saudi Arabia), LG Chem Ltd. (South Korea), Versalis SPA (Italy), PJSC SIBUR Holdings (Russia), Sinopec (China), and Kuraray Co. Ltd. (Japan). These companies adopted new product development, joint venture, and expansion as their major business strategies between January 2015 and August 2019 to earn a competitive advantage in the polybutadiene market.
