巴斯夫公司和壳牌化学公司将合并它们的聚乙烯和聚丙烯业务,合并后的公司年销售额超过60亿美元,成为世界上最大的生产商之一。这意味着今年后期将有一家新聚烯烃巨头进入市场。巴斯夫和壳牌公司对新公司的所有权各为一半。这项交易将合并壳牌公司全资聚丙烯公司Montell,巴斯夫聚丙烯合资公司Targor(以前的合资伙伴为Hoechst公司,后来为Celanese公司),以及巴斯夫与壳牌现有的聚乙烯合资公司Elenac。这次合并也将使壳牌公司净赚125万美 BASF and Shell Chemicals will merge their polyethylene and polypropylene businesses, and the combined company has annual sales of more than $6 billion, making it one of the world’s largest manufacturers. This means that a new polyolefin giant will enter the market later this year. BASF and Shell have half the ownership of the new company. The deal will merge with Shell, a wholly-owned polypropylene firm of Shell, Targor, a BASF polypropylene joint venture (formerly Hoechst, later Celanese) and Elenac, BASF’s existing polyethylene joint venture with Shell. This merger will also give Shell a net profit of 1.25 million US dollars
