SABIC said the MoU is part of its strategy to diversify its operations, seek new investment opportunities and strengthen its position in the Chinese market while at the same becoming a global leader in the specialties sector.

Also at Fujian, US nylon producer Invista has awarded a licence to Baihong Industrial Holdings for a large-scale PTA plant to feed existing facilities that will produce PET films and fibers.
