Construction
of Phenolchemie's 400KT phenol and acetone plant
in the Theodore Industrial area was the major step forward in our
growing commitment to the Americas. The site offers many advantages
with its excellent rail, highway, and waterway transportation infrastructure.
Key business partnerships such as Alabama Power's cogeneration plant
which provides steam to the plant and the Alabama State Docks Liquid
Bulk Terminal (adjacent to our facility) allows us to utilize anything
from river barges to Panamax-size ships for raw materials and products
that help us to serve our customer's needs cost effectively. |

The
plant has been operational since early 2000. Although the ownership
and name changed
in 2001, INEOS Phenol's management philosophy of dedication and
commitment
to its customers, its employees, the environment, and the local
community has held steadfast. The plant was constructed with world-class
safety and environmental control systems.
INEOS Phenol and our employees support education, civic activities,
and environmental awareness with active participation in programs
such as Partners in Education,
Coastal Clean-Up, Junior Achievement and United Way.
This plant
services the NAFTA, South American, and Asian markets with shipments
via railcar, truck, barge and ship. We maintain an extensive IT
based, logistics infrastructure including
an on-line railcar tracking system that allows our customers to
stay current on in-bound shipments. Our quality system is certified
to the ISO-9001:2000 standards as a testament
to our operational philosophy of ensuring the right quality the
first time all the time.
