The key figures of the largest petrochemical company in Russia and Eastern Europe are already more than impressive. Around 27,000 employees at 22 production sites generate annual sales of the equivalent of 6.2 billion euros. SIBUR covers the entire production cycle from gas production, the manufacture of monomers and plastics to synthetic rubbers and plastics processing. The market leader in Russia and Eastern Europe supplies more than 1,400 major customers from wide variety of industrial sectors in around 80 countries worldwide.
Even more impressive is the corporate mission to which the economically highly successful company is committed: ”Our products make a better quality of life accessible to everyone. They transform the world around us and change people‘s lives for the better.“ That‘s what it says on the company‘s website. To achieve this, SIBUR invests a large part of its revenues in scientific research and the development of new knowledge potential in order to reduce the dependence of the Russian economy on natural resources and facilitate the transition to a more sustainable and competitive manufacturing economy.
New research and development centre
An important milestone on the way to achieving this ambitious goal is the new Polyolefins Application and Development Center (PADC), which SIBUR plans to open in the first half of 2019. The new research and development centre is located within the Skolkovo Innovation Centre in the Moscow region and is open for cooperation with all interested parties, says Ilnaz Zaripov, expert for the development of the product portfolio at SIBUR. ”The functionality of the PADC is based on cooperation with customers in order to develop optimal processes for the production of end product samples from polymer granules and to test the raw materials and finished products for compliance with quality standards with the aid of our research equipment.
Strong partnership
In its search for a partner for extrusion blow molding technology at the Technical Center, SIBUR has chosen Kautex Maschinenbau. An important and decisive aspect here was once again the good and close cooperation with the Kautex Technikum and the exchange on a technical level. Since the PADC is also planned as a training centre, Ilnaz Zaripov attaches great importance to the technical know-how of external partners. ”If you want to develop advanced solutions, you must not close your eyes. Innovation needs openness and strong partnerships.“
The technical features of the compact KEB series, which is ideal for testing PP and HDPE applications, were also convincing. Kautex supplies a KEB10 extrusion blow molding machine with two blow molds for tests with 1-liter round PP bottles and 10-liter HDPE Eurocans. SIBUR has little experience with HDPE to date, but sees enormous market opportunities in the development of products from this material due to the great demand in Russia and other countries.
“We are very much looking forward to the opening of the SIBUR Technology Center and to passing on our expertise,“ said Hubert Moritz, Kautex Sales Manager for Russia for many years.
