Interquisa Canada

Interquisa Canada produces Purified Terephtalic Acid (PTA) required for the manufacturing of various types of polyesters. Its petrochemical plant has been operating since September 2003 and can produce 500,000 metric tons per year.

PTA is a raw material used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for the North American market (textile fibres, plastic bottles, films). It also enters in the production chain of other polymers used for the manufacturing of powder resins mainly found in paints and adhesives.

Interquisa Canada is one of three North American PTA manufacturers. It is strategically located in the heart of Montréal’s petrochemicals cluster and is both a customer of ParaChem Chemicals and a supplier to PTT Poly Canada, both SGF partners. This facilitates development of integrated production chains. Interquisa Canada is a subsidiary of CEPSA (Spain).

SGF participation: 49%
