About Reliance Polyester
Established in 1982, Reliance Polyester has grown by leaps and bounds to become the world’s largest integrated manufacturer of polyester fibre and yarn; apart from continuing to be the bedrock, on which Reliance Industries Limited stands. Commissioning 10,000 tonnes back in 1982, Reliance Polyester today has reached a 2.5 million tonne mark. It is growing at a remarkable pace, thanks to Greenfield investment and acquisitions in the entire value chain.
Today RIL has more than 4% global market share in polyester fibre and yarn. With a presence in major international markets like the U.S., Turkey, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, China, Vietnam, Italy, United Kingdom and Indonesia, it spans across 100 plus global markets. A large factor that contributes to the success and rapid expansion at Reliance Polyester is its unique strength of complete integration in the polyester value chain, starting right from crude oil to final products. It guarantees reliable supply and consistent quality as the raw materials (PX, PTA and MEG) are manufactured in-house.
On the ground, Reliance has taken its consumer oriented marketing a step further by clubbing the entire portfolio of all polyester products under one common business, known as the Polyester sector. This constitutes of the staple fibre and filament yarn business, which comes under the brand name of Recron®, and PET, which comes under the name of Relpet®.
