MUSCAT: Eight months after unveiling its $250 million expansion plan in Oman, SNF has received official approval to establish a polymer production facility in the Sultanate. The announcement was made by Jimmy Nesbitt, General Manager of SNF Oman, during a press conference in Muscat. This strategic development reflects Oman’s growing prominence in the Middle East polymer market and SNF’s commitment to advancing in-country value and sustainability.
The project, sanctioned by the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn), underscores Oman’s support for industrial growth and innovation. Nesbitt expressed enthusiasm about the approval, highlighting the strategic importance of the Sultanate in the regional polymer industry. The facility is poised to bolster SNF’s global leadership in integrated solutions for chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
With over two decades of operational presence in Oman, SNF aims to strengthen its foothold through this initiative. The new facility will leverage cutting-edge technology to produce polymers that meet the highest industry standards, aligning with the company’s sustainability goals. The project also represents a significant investment in Oman’s industrial ecosystem, supporting local job creation and technological advancement.
The approval marks a key milestone in SNF’s regional growth strategy. By establishing a local manufacturing base, the company aims to reduce supply chain constraints and enhance the delivery of its products across the Middle East. This aligns with Oman’s broader goals of fostering industrial diversification and economic resilience.
As SNF progresses with the development of the polymer facility, it anticipates substantial contributions to Oman’s economy. The initiative not only emphasizes the Sultanate’s role in the global polymer market but also reinforces SNF’s vision of sustainable growth and innovation.
