Wedoany.com Report-Nov. 8, TA’ZIZ has signed two long-term product sale agreements with The Sanmar Group for the supply of key petrochemical feedstocks, marking a significant step in UAE’s industrial growth. The agreements were announced during ADIPEC in the presence of UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Group CEO Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, and TCI Sanmar Chemicals Chairman Ambassador Navdeep Suri.

Under the agreements, TA’ZIZ will supply more than 350,000 tons per year of ethylene dichloride (EDC) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) to Sanmar for up to ten years. The feedstocks, produced at the TA’ZIZ Chemicals Industrial Zone in Al Ruwais Industrial City, will support Sanmar’s PVC production facilities in Port Said, Egypt, and Cuddalore, India. These shipments mark the first export of EDC and VCM from the UAE.

Mashal Al-Kindi, CEO of TA’ZIZ, said: “We are pleased to partner with The Sanmar Group to support their growth ambitions in Egypt and India as we enable industrial development and economic diversification in the UAE.” He emphasized that the agreements reaffirm TA’ZIZ’s role as a reliable global supplier and strengthen industrial and economic cooperation between the UAE and India.

Vijay Sankar, Chairman of The Sanmar Group, described the agreements as “the beginning of a strategic relationship with TA’ZIZ,” highlighting shared objectives in sustainability and long-term value creation.

The agreements are part of the wider development of the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone, which, once completed in 2028, will produce 4.7 million tons of chemicals annually. The integrated zone will include facilities for caustic soda, PVC, VCM, EDC, and large-scale ammonia and methanol production, supporting the UAE’s industrial strategy under Operation 300Bn.

TA’ZIZ serves as an integrated industrial, logistics, and utilities hub, established by ADNOC and ADQ to advance the UAE’s chemical and manufacturing industries. The project aims to enhance the country’s role as a global supplier of high-value chemicals while fostering industrial development, export growth, and economic diversification.

Through these agreements, TA’ZIZ is set to strengthen its position in the global petrochemical supply chain and facilitate the expansion of PVC production in key international markets. The collaboration underscores the UAE’s strategic approach to industrial development, combining local production capabilities with international partnerships to deliver sustainable growth and value across multiple regions.

By supplying EDC and VCM to Sanmar, TA’ZIZ will contribute to the company’s operations in Egypt and India while showcasing the UAE’s capacity to produce and export high-quality chemical feedstocks. This initiative highlights the ongoing integration of advanced chemical manufacturing into the UAE’s industrial ecosystem and its growing role in regional and global supply chains.
