The ongoing uncertainty regarding the future of PET production at M&G Polímeros México in Altamira / Mexico has been resolved for the moment. Long-standing compatriot supplier Alpek (Mexico City; www.alpek.com) has guaranteed the further supply of PTA feedstock.
Prior to this, the company’s creditors, including a number of Alpek subsidiaries, had approved the restructuring plan for the financially troubled PET producer. One key aspect for Alpek was the assurance that M&G Mexico would repay its debts of USD 160m (EUR 136m) plus interest to the PTA supplier over the next five years (see Plasteurope.com of 18.01.2018).
