AEQUITA to Acquire SABIC's European Petrochemicals Business

On January 8, 2026, AEQUITA SE & Co. KGaA announced an agreement to acquire SABIC's European Olefins & Polyolefins assets. This acquisition includes four production sites across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and the UK, employing approximately 1,900 individuals and generating $3.5 billion in revenue. The move aims to build a scalable platform with robust market positions and established customer relationships.

This acquisition, alongside AEQUITA's recent olefins and polyolefins business purchase from LyondellBasell, is poised to generate $7 billion in revenue. The transaction supports sector consolidation, optimizes costs, and enhances operational synergies. Completion is expected by the end of 2026, pending necessary approvals.
