Anwil (Włocławek / Poland; www.anwil.com.pl) is currently considering an expansion of its PVC production capacity by 70,000 t/y at its headquarters. The company told Plasteurope.com that an expansion of the production lines for chlorine, sodium hydroxide and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is also being examined. According to PIE's Polyglobe database (www.polyglobe.net), Anwil's PVC and VCM capacities are presently each at 350,000 t/y.

Part of the feasibility study includes considerations for expanding its VCM plant by 100,000 t/y. According to Polish media, the study should be completed at the end of April 2019. Around half of Anwil's PVC production is reportedly sold domestically, with the remainder delivered to other EU countries.
