Shell Catalysts and Braskem extend 15-year relationship
Leaders from Braskem and Shell Catalysts & Technologies (SC&T) met at Shell’s research centre in Amsterdam recently to participate in a technical exchange. During the meeting, SC&T and Braskem agreed to extend their 15-year relationship for an additional five years. SC&T provides technical support and works with Braskem to improve operational performance and maintenance.
“We appreciate the long-standing relationship between SC&T and Braskem,” said Aloisio Souza Azevedo, global process manager for Braskem. “Shell is a key partner to Braskem and this relationship has brought us safety and added value to our operations. We look forward to continuing this relationship for the next five years and to our efforts to explore areas of collaboration and navigate together our transformation agenda.”
Braskem and SC&T have been working to define a transformation map of initiatives in order to reach targets for operational excellence and decarbonisation. A new technical services agreement will continue to help strengthen facility processes and maintenance.
“We are thrilled and humbled to announce that Braskem and SC&T agreed to build upon their strong relationship with an extended agreement,” said Diego Esposito, SC&T sales director for Latin America. “This is result of the fruitful 15 year relationship based on trust, collaboration and learning from each other.
