Borealis is investing more than EUR 100 million to expand and upgrade its polypropylene (PP) compounding facilities in Schwechat, Austria. The new PP compounding line is expected to begin operations in the second half of 2026.

Borealis invests over EUR 100 million in its production location in Schwechat, Austria, to expand polypropylene compounding capabilities.

 

The expansion will increase the supply of advanced PP compounds mainly used in consumer products, mobility, and infrastructure applications.  

 

“This is our third significant investment this year. With more capacity, we can deliver more of the materials they need, helping them hit performance targets and move closer to their sustainability goals.  This project transforms innovation into tangible solutions – bringing our We4Customers strategy to life,” said Stefan Doboczky, Borealis CEO.

 

Polymer compounding is the process of blending plastic resins, such as polypropylene, with additives, fiberglass, and recycled materials to create specialty compounds with tailored properties. These materials are designed for applications that require durability, heat resistance, or lightweight performance

 

Advanced PP compounds are used in a wide range of industries, including: 

  • Consumer products and appliances: Durable and recyclable materials that meet a wide range of household needs. 

  • Mobility: Lightweight plastics that help extend the range of electric vehicles and support upcoming EU regulations requiring more recycled content. 

  • Infrastructure: Protective outer layers for steel pipes used in high-temperature oil and gas transport.
