As part of its We4Customers strategy, polyolefin producer Borealis is investing more than €100 million in a new polypropylene compounding line at its Schwechat site in Austria.
The decision aims to meet growing demand for tailor-made materials in infrastructure, mobility, household appliances and consumer goods.

The new production line is scheduled to come onstream in the second half of 2026.

“This is our third significant investment this year, following the expansion of our energy business and the increase in capacity for our recyclable, lightweight polymer foam solutions,” said Borealis CEO Stefan Doboczky. “With more capacity, we can deliver more of the materials they need, helping them hit performance targets and move closer to their sustainability goals. This project transforms innovation into tangible solutions, bringing our We4Customers strategy to life.”

Through its We4Customers approach, Borealis aims to deliver innovative and sustainable polyolefin-based solutions that support customers in meeting climate and efficiency targets.
