Lotte Chemical Titan president director Yoon Sungku said that the new plant which is being built on 45 hectares of land can produce 1 million tons of ethylene per year.

The new plant would produce ethylene which might fulfill the feedstock requirement of Lotte Chemical Nusantara in producting polyethylene.

Lotte Chemical Titan engages in the business of trading polyethylene and polypropylene, while their subsidiary Lotte Chemical Titan Nusantara engages in the business of producing and selling polyethylene.
