SIBUR Opens Subsidiary in India

SIBUR Petrochemical India, a subsidiary of SIBUR, has started operations in Mumbai. SIBUR Petrochemical India extends SIBUR’s geographic reach into India and South Asia. The subsidiary company will initially conduct detailed research of the petrochemical products market and support business development in a number of ways, including government relations.
