Warsaw – Pirelli and Rosneft, in the context of the Memorandum of Understanding signed last year, have identified Synthos, a leading manufacturer of chemical raw materials based in Poland, as their technological partner for the development of research, production and supply relating to synthetic rubber in Nakhodka, in the context of the FEPCO (Far East Petrochemical Company) petrochemical cluster. Pirelli, Rosneft and Synthos have thus signed a Memorandum of Understanding to conduct feasibility studies for these activities which regard the engineering design requisites and the operation of the plant, market studies, investments and estimates of operating costs. The three groups also expressed their intention to use the FEPCO petrochemical cluster to produce synthetic rubber with the goal of supplying, among others, Pirelli plants in the APAC region.
