History

Braskem Idesa is an association created in 2010, made up of Braskem (with 75% of the share), a Brazil's leading petrochemical company in America; and Grupo Idesa (with 25% of the share), one of the main Mexican business groups. Braskem Idesa led the development and implementation of a petrochemical complex for the production of polyethylene in Coatzacoalcos, in the state of Veracruz.

The Braskem Idesa Complex represents an important advance for the Mexican petrochemical industry because it adds value to the entire production chain in the country, as well as creating opportunities for social and economic development, since the Mexican trade balance must be benefited by the significant decrease of the importation of polyethylene, in addition to the generation of employment.
