TA’ZIZ Signs 10-Year Petrochemical Supply Deal With Sanmar

13 Nov 2025 CW Team

Under the terms, TA’ZIZ will supply Sanmar with over 350,000 tonnes per annum of ethylene dichloride (EDC) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). The products will be manufactured at the TA’ZIZ Chemicals Industrial Zone in Al Ruwais Industrial City, marking the first time the UAE will export either chemical.

TA’ZIZ CEO Mashal Al Kindi said the agreements underscore the company’s ambition to serve as a reliable global supplier of high-quality petrochemicals. She noted that the partnership supports Sanmar’s growth in Egypt and India while strengthening long-term economic and industrial ties between the UAE and India.

VCM and EDC are essential raw materials for producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC), used widely in construction, infrastructure, packaging and consumer goods. The supply will support Sanmar’s PVC manufacturing operations in Port Said, Egypt, and Cuddalore, India, while enhancing the competitiveness of UAE-made chemicals in global markets.

Chairman of The Sanmar Group Vijay Sankar said the long-term partnership reflects a shared commitment to operational excellence, sustainability and value creation.

The TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone is expected to produce 4.7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of chemicals once completed in 2028. The PVC complex — the zone’s largest facility — will have a marketable capacity of 1.9 mtpa across caustic soda, EDC, PVC and VCM. Additional facilities include a 1 mtpa ammonia plant and a 1.8 mtpa methanol plant.

By expanding domestic production and supporting global markets, TA’ZIZ is reinforcing its role as a trusted international energy and chemicals partner and advancing the UAE’s industrial diversification under Operation 300bn.

TA’ZIZ has signed two product sale agreement term sheets with The Sanmar Group, a global leader in PVC and specialty chemicals, to supply key petrochemical feedstocks for up to 10 years. The agreements were formalised during ADIPEC in the presence of UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, ADNOC’s leadership, and senior representatives from The Sanmar Group.
