Sipkim Starts 6-Week Waha Closure to Boost Capacity
Saad Global Petrochemicals Company "Sipkim" has begun a six-week shutdown of the Waha plant starting October 1, 2026, in order to carry out routine maintenance, complete the energy efficiency upgrade project, and improve the plant’s operational performance. Additionally, during this shutdown period, the expansion of the Propylene and Polypropylene plants will be completed to increase production capacity by 30%, from 450,000 tons to 600,000 tons annually. This shutdown is part of the company's 2026 plan, and the financial impact will be assessed based on the duration of maintenance and sale prices during the stoppage period. The effect will be reflected in the Q4 2026 results, with measures in place to ensure supply continuity and fulfillment of contractual obligations.
