  • The project supports Oman's role in biodegradable plastics, with MAIRE reinforcing its leadership in maleic anhydride technology.

MAIRE (MAIRE.MI) announces that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions), through its subsidiary CONSER, its technology licensor for high-value chemical derivatives and biodegradable plastics, has been awarded by Al Baleed Petrochemical Company (ABP) the technology licensing, the process design package and catalyst supply for a Maleic Anhydride plant to be located in the Salalah Free Zone, in Oman.
