Cabot opens masterbatch 
facility in Jafza

The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility includes the latest environmental and manufacturing technologies to ensure production of high-quality black masterbatches. Laboratories, administration offices, production and packaging are all located within the building.

The Dubai plant allows Cabot to better meet increasing demand for masterbatch in the Middle East, Europe and Asia Pacific regions.

Cabot Vice President and General Manager for the Performance Segment, Sean Keohane, said, “Within the Middle East there is already a strong demand for polyethylene and polypropylene compounds for use in building infrastructure for water supply, electricity, and telecommunications projects. These are key applications for black masterbatch. This new site offers significant quality and service advantages to Middle East producers who are global exporters of compounds.”

Senior Vice President of Global Sales at Jafza, Adil Al Zarouni said: “Cabot Corporation has demonstrated excellence as a global leader in performance materials and we hope the new facility will help the company to continue the pursuit of its vision and effectively reach out to more businesses and markets across GCC, the Middle East and Asia. We are very pleased to welcome Cabot to the Jafza community. This new move not only reflects the confidence the company has in Dubai and Jafza but also proves that Jafza is still one of the most favoured investment destinations for international companies looking to base themselves in the region.”
