During the past 20 years, the OLPAT team has always enjoyed the constructive dialogues with members and participants at APACT conferences and CPACT activities. Within the new Borouge International organisation, I think we can continue this path and update our knowledge on online analysis ( PAT) in the polyolefin industry by making use of the extended webinar topics.
As we are constantly struggling to develop new and more efficient PAT technologies, implement automated QC process, classification procedures and optimize the use of process data, any interface that could help towards that, is very useful.

Established in 2026, Borouge International is a global polyolefins champion formed from Borouge, Borealis, and NOVA Chemicals, and backed by XRG - ADNOC's international investment arm - and OMV.
Borouge International is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and operates through major operational hubs in Europe, the Middle East, and North America, with commercial reach across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Our innovation centers in Austria, the UAE, Canada, and China strengthen this global footprint and support ongoing product and application development.
As one of the world’s largest and most integrated polyolefins producers, Borouge International serves customers across a global footprint and employs more than 10,000 people. Our scale, network, and capabilities position us to support critical industries worldwide.
Borouge International produces high-performance plastic and polyolefins that support essential industries and solutions including consumer products, infrastructure, energy, mobility, and advanced products. We also manage the full value chain behind our materials - from advantaged feedstock access and manufacturing excellence to proprietary technology, design, and application development.
By combining proprietary technologies with advanced evaluation capabilities, we support customers in developing solutions that perform reliably in real-world conditions. Product innovation is further accelerated through AI-enabled solutions that enhance evaluation and shorten development cycles.
Innovation also extends to how we run our operations. We use modeling, pilot-scale testing, process optimization, and data-driven tools - such as predictive maintenance, digital twins and real-time quality control - to strengthen quality and consistency across the value chain. Linking development, production, and logistics in this way allows us to scale new solutions efficiently and provide customers with dependable, high-performing polyolefin materials.
Our sustainability focus reflects where Borouge International already creates value: developing high-performance materials that improve efficiency, durability and circularity across critical applications.
As a global player, we understand the responsibilities that come with our scale and reach and appreciate the interconnected climate, biological, and community pressures across our operating regions.
Borouge International is targeting a leadership position in circular solutions, advancing sustainable polyolefin materials through innovation and engineering excellence. The combination enables the integration of proven innovation capabilities, complementary technologies and established operating practices across the portfolio.
