Chinese-Russia joint venture petrochemical company, Ruspolimer, plans to start the first polymer production at the Amur Gas Chemical Complex in 2026
RIA Novosti, Moscow - Victoria Uvarova, marketing manager of Sibur, stated that Sibur plans to start the first few tons of polymer production at the Amur Gas Chemical Complex in 2026.
Uvarova said during a session at the Russian International Plastics and Rubber Exhibition (Ruplastica): "We hope to launch the first ton of product in 2026. The products of this project will have demand both in the Russian domestic market and in exports."
She pointed out that the construction of the factory is more than 92% complete, and the company is currently preparing for the start-up commissioning work.
As of the end of 2025, the construction progress of the Amur Chemical Complex has reached 92%. The company plans to produce the first polyethylene in the third quarter of 2026, and the polypropylene production line is expected to be put into operation in 2027.
The Amur Chemical Complex is a joint venture project between Sibur, Russia (holding 60% shares) and Sinopec (holding 40% shares). Initially, it was planned to be completed in 2024. In the autumn of 2022, Sibur's leadership stated that due to the need to reconfigure the plant configuration because of the replacement of some technology licensees and equipment suppliers, the completion date would be postponed to 2026. It is expected that the company will achieve full capacity operation in 2027.
