Speaking to NIPNA, Hassan Neshanzadeh said production
of items continued in his company despite the unjust US sanctions on Iran.
“Our company, as one of the world’s largest producers
of the chlorine chain, supplies over 90% of the country’s need for caustic and
340,000 tons of PVC,” he said.
The official also said that the company’s exports had
improved in comparison with the preceding Iranian calendar year which began on
March 21.
He also added that the facility expected a major leap
in its output by the end of the current calendar year which would supply the
domestic need for several items while generating hard currency for the country.
The plant is also the supplier of chlorine for Bandar
Emam, Karoon, Ghadir and Khuzestan petrochemical plants.
Iran’s total PVC production capacity is 730,000 tons/year.
