Scheduled for completion in 2028, the fully owned SONGWON facility will produce a range of SONGNOX® OPS, high-performance additive blends designed to support efficient polyolefin resin production. By expanding local production capacity and enhancing supply chain flexibility, the plant aims to better serve the fast-growing polyolefin market in the Middle East.
Jongho Park, Group CEO of Songwon, commented: “Following the success of our facilities in the UAE, Germany and the U.S., this investment represents a significant step forward in expanding SONGWON’s global OPS footprint and our dedication to this key polyolefin market and the Saudi Vision 2030. Furthermore, the new KSA plant will unlock new possibilities for growth and future expansion and enable us to provide reliable and responsive service to customers across the Middle East and beyond.”
Christian Miglioli, Country Manager UAE & Leader Sales Polymer Stabilizers – Middle East, Africa & India, added: “The new strategically located facility will complement our existing production network and enhance our ability to serve KSA customers effectively. It highlights not only our commitment to this important region but also our drive to lead in operational excellence and sustainability. By providing greater access to our high-performance SONGNOX OPS range, the KSA plant will open new opportunities for SONGWON to meet evolving market needs and, most importantly, deliver real value to our customers.”
The greenfield investment reflects Songwon’s aim to strengthen its regional capabilities, reduce logistics lead times, and provide tailored solutions to polyolefin manufacturers. The KSA facility is expected to integrate advanced production technologies and sustainability practices, aligning with global industry standards and supporting Songwon’s mission to offer innovative, efficient, and environmentally responsible additive solutions.
By situating the new plant in Saudi Arabia, Songwon will be strategically positioned to respond more effectively to regional demand, expand its service network, and maintain competitive delivery times. The investment further reinforces the company’s commitment to operational excellence, sustainability, and growth within the global polyolefin market.
With the completion of the KSA facility, Songwon will join its existing production sites in the UAE, Germany, and the U.S., creating a more resilient, geographically diverse network capable of serving customers across multiple continents. The facility is expected to become a key hub for SONGNOX OPS production, enhancing the company’s ability to innovate and support customers with reliable, high-performance polymer solutions.
