M&G moving ahead with plant investments
The
company will build PET and PTA
plants in
Texas.
M&G Group, (www.gruppomg.com) leading producer of PET for packaging applications in the Americas, announces that it has purchased the land in Corpus Christi, TX, where it will build its one million tons per year PET plant and accompanying 1.2 million tons per year PTA plant.
The property has been purchased by the M&G Group from the philanthropic organization The Robert Driscoll and Julia Driscoll and Robert Driscoll, Jr. Foundation. The land is conveniently located on the northern side of the Viola Channel within the Port of Corpus Christi providing good access to rail and navigable water.
“The final selection and the purchase of the land is an important step as it will allow us to complete detailed engineering and permit filing,” comments Mauro Fenoglio, the project leader for this important investment.
“I’m glad to have had the opportunity to personally reiterate to Governor Perry, during his recent visit to Italy, our commitment to Corpus Christi, Texas for the world’s largest PET integrated plant” says Marco Ghisolfi, CEO of M&G’s polymers business unit. He adds, “The synergies of the location, adding to the unmatched size and integration efficiency of the plant, will further remove logistic costs, making our operation by far the world lowest cost.”
"I always appreciate the opportunity to meet with employers that are looking to Texas as the best place to grow their business, and I’m pleased M&G Group is finalizing its plans to create hundreds of jobs for Texans in Corpus Christi," Texas Gov. Rick Perry says. "The strong business climate we’ve fostered in Texas continues to attract employers from around the world to create jobs and opportunity in the Lone Star State because of our low taxes, reasonable regulations, fair courts and skilled workforce."
The new plants will generate approximately 250 new jobs. An additional 700 indirect positions are anticipated and as many as 3,000 jobs likely will be created during construction. The new PET single line plant will employ the same technology as M&G’s single reactor Suape (Brazil) PET plant, including M&G’s revolutionary EasyUpTM SSP technology.
