| Acquired March 2011 |
| The Auriga facility is located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA and has total installed capacity of 458,000 tonnes per annum, comprising of PET capacity of 387,000 tonnes per annum and Polyester fibers and yarns capacity of 71,000 tonnes per annum. We acquired the Auriga facility from Invista S.a’ r.l. The South Carolina facility produces polyester resins and specialty polymers currently used in bottles, trays, sheets, film and textile applications. Bottles made from Auriga’s resins are used for carbonated soft drinks, water, beer, juice, wine and food. Auriga owns the technology for the Crystal Clear Oxygen Barrier Resin, OxyClear®. Another benefit of acquiring Auriga Polymers included the enhancement of research and development (R & D) capabilities. An advantage from the R & D integration with IVL’s existing facilities, including AlphaPet and StarPet is increased production flexibility. |
