On June 29th, Samsung Engineering signed an official contract with Borouge, a subsidiary of ADNOC, for a $1.7 bn USD contract for two plants announced in May as part of the Ruwais

The signing ceremony was held in Abu Dhabi, UAE at the Sheik Khalifa Energy Complex in the Borouge Tower with ADNOC’s Director of Chemical Directorate Rashed Saud Al Shamsi, Borouge CEO Abdulaziz Alhajri, Samsung Engineering President and CEO Park Ki-Seok and Chairman of Marie Techimont Group F.Di Amato, along with 40 other UAE ambassadors and officials.

Samsung Engineering and JV partner Tecnimont (Italy) received a contract for $1.25 bn USD polyolefin plant and a $400 mn USD low density polyethylene (LDPE) plant from Abu Dhabi Polymers Co.

Samsung Engineering-Tecnimont will head 2 out of 3 packages of the Borouge 3 expansion project for the UAE's Ruwais refinery complex. The expansion project includes the world's largest polyolefin plant, which will produce 900,000 tons of polypropylene and 108,000 tons of polyethylene. The second package consists of a plant that will produce 350,000 tons of LDPE.
