Bangkok, Thailand – 5th August 2014 – Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL), the world’s leading vertically integrated Polyester Value Chain producer, saw total revenues of THB 125.7 billion in the first half of 2014, an impressive 12% rise over the same period in 2013, with Core EBITDA growing 44% to THB 10.2 billion. Net profit correspondingly grew by 163% to THB 1.8 billion over 2013.
The Chinese PTA overcapacity continues to depress our feedstock segment but the Company is optimistic that the bottom has been reached with most producers operating at below cost over last two years, which has led to industry restructuring and better producer discipline.

The successful closure in end April 2014 of the deal to acquire PHP Fibers, a Leading Global Nylon 66 air bag Yarn supplier, is the first maiden entry of IVL into the airbag and tire cord business. The Company’s has now started PET packaging business in Philippines post successful entry into Nigeria and continues to develop this segment in under-served markets with high growth potential.
