LyondellBasell is one of the largest plastics, chemicals and refining companies in the world. This company produces materials and products that are key to advancing solutions to modern challenges like:
- enhancing food safety through lightweight and flexible packaging,
- protecting the purity of water supplies through stronger and more versatile pipes,
- improving the safety, comfort and fuel efficiency of many of the cars and trucks on the road, and
- ensuring safe and effective functionality in electronics and appliances.
In 2018, LyondellBasell completed the acquisition of A. Schulman, Inc., a leading global supplier of high-performance plastic compounds, composites and powders. This acquisition more than doubled LyondellBasell's existing compounding business and broadened the company's reach into growing, high-margin end markets.
