Life gets more complicated in the Middle East

In the old days all you had to do was propose an ethane cracker with PE and MEG downstream and you were away.
But these days if you want to get feedstock, especially in Saudi, you need to offer something a bit different because of the drive to diversify to create jobs.
This is a big opportunity for medium-sized players such as Lucite with the right technologies, hence their methyl methacrylate project with Sipchem.
