The chemical industries of Russia, the CIS and Central & Eastern Europe represent an area of growing interest amongst foreign companies, which are seeking market opportunities in trade and technology. Central Europe’s chemical companies are tending to follow West European companies in strategies, whilst retaining at the same time their own identity. Russia’s feedstock base provides potentially low costs for existing petrochemical plants, and also for new projects. 2004 could prove to be a dynamic year for the industry as not only will EU enlargement take place, but also important

Organised by:
producers such as Unipetrol in the Czech Republic and Petrom in Romania are expected to be privatised. In Russia,

projects are coming under more review for SIBUR, the largest chemical holding in Russia, and other producers such as Kazanorgsintez and Nizhnekamskneftekhim in Tatarstan. At the same time the industry in Russia continues to be

restructured with the emphasis on profitability. This well-established two-day event will provide a comprehensive insight into the current state of the chemical and petrochemical industries in the region. Key industry players from Russia, the CIS and Eastern Europe will address their approach to current industry trends; outline their strategies, plans, objectives and needs for further development, and at the same time highlight areas for collaboration and joint venture partnerships with international organizations and suppliers
