The most important development project of Tabriz Petrochemical is the 310,000-ton heavy polyethylene production project, which is being implemented for the first time in the country with Iranian technical knowledge and 100% indigenous design. The project is currently more than 78% physically complete, with major equipment purchased and a significant portion of the infrastructure installed.

The complex’s production capacity for saleable products will more than double with the implementation of this massive project, which is an effective step in creating jobs, reducing production costs, and enhancing the competitiveness of the country’s petrochemical industry.
