6. 1ST MARKET SHIFT: MIGRATION TO MIDDLE EAST
• The Middle East will be the
largest consumer of Co-
Catalysts used for Polyolefin
production by 2014
• Today there is no co-
catalysts manufacturing
located in the Middle East
region
• Albemarle is recognized
globally as the leader in
producing, safe handling and
technical servicing of
Organometallics
