Carsten Harms, CEO Omya Performance Polymer Distribution
Omya Performance Polymer Distribution has been named a primary distributor for INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe, covering polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) across Northern, Central, Eastern, and Western Europe.
This agreement reinforces the partnership between INEOS and Omya Performance Polymer Distribution, building on their existing exclusive collaboration in the UK, Ireland, and Nordics, now part of Distrupol. This expansion highlights a long-term, future-ready commitment to strengthening the supply chain for European polymer converters.
INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe is bolstering its European supply chain through major regional investments designed for long-term sustainability and local access to polyolefins. Key projects include a €4 billion investment in a highly sustainable cracker and a €500 million project to modernize the Lavera site in Southern France into a low-carbon facility.
Carsten Harms, Omya Performance Polymer Distribution CEO said: “We are delighted to expand our strategic partnership with INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe. Their extensive portfolio and commitment to long‑term European investment align perfectly with our own growth strategy. Customers will benefit from stable supply, a broader product offering and enhanced application support.”
Rob Ingram, INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe CEO says: “Supported by our long‑term investment program, including world‑scale, lower‑carbon production assets and recycling‑ready technologies, this partnership reinforces our deep commitment to European supply. We are ensuring that customers can access high‑quality, locally manufactured polymers they can rely on at a time of increasing volatility. Omya Performance Polymer Distribution combines strong market presence and excellent technical capability with strategies that align closely with our own, making this an ideal partnership for our next phase of growth.”
The partnership further strengthens INEOS’s downstream presence and enhances service to small and medium‑sized converters who depend on consistent, high‑quality supply.
