A STORY OF GROWTH AND SUCCESS

Resirene started operations with a polystyrene production plant in 1978, which had a capacity for 20 thousand tons per year; eight years later in 1986, it increased its capacity to 60 thousand tons, installing a second production plant in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz.

In the mid-nineties, with total technological independence, important expansion projects were carried out to reach an installed capacity of 115 thousand tons of production.

With this infrastructure as a support, and supported by the talent of its engineers, a proprietary polymerization technology was designed with which Resirene began the construction of a third plant at the end of 1998, in Tlaxcala, which began operations in 2000. reaching an installed capacity of 150 thousand tons per year. With this capacity, the decision is made to participate decisively in international markets.
