Together, these multi-billion dollar investments will help meet strong global demand growth for polyethylene, particularly high-performance products used for liquid and food packaging, construction liners and agricultural films.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe availability of new supplies of domestically produced natural gas liquids provides us with a significant advantage when expanding polyethylene production to meet worldwide demand growth,\u201d said Karen McKee, president of ExxonMobil Chemical Company. \u201cOur unique polyethylene products offer enhanced performance benefits to our customers, including strength and ease of processing, compared with commodity products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project created 2,000 jobs during peak construction and currently supports approximately 40 permanent jobs. Operations associated with the Beaumont expansion are expected to increase regional economic activity by $20 billion in the first 13 years, according to research completed in 2015 by Impact Data Source.<\/p>\n<p>Beaumont\u2019s polyethylene plant expansion is part of ExxonMobil\u2019s 2017 Growing the Gulf initiative, which included plans to build and expand manufacturing facilities along the U.S. Gulf Coast, creating more than 45,000 high-paying jobs across the region.<\/p>\n<p>Quelle: ExxonMobil<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ExxonMobil said it started production on a new high-performance polyethylene line at its Beaumont, Texas polyethylene plant.
