Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL) is pleased to announce the
official opening of its 432,000 tons a year PET resin plant, AlphaPet Inc,

The opening marks the start-up of AlphaPet Line 2. The plant, which is
co-located on the site of BP Chemical's PTA facility in Decatur, Alabama, will
serve North America with PET resin, used in the manufacture of drinks bottles
and other consumer goods packaging.

has a number of advantages over conventional PET technologies including
significant capital and operational savings, reduced energy consumption and a
