Reliance Industries Limited and its Hazira Manufacturing Division reach a notable milestone
Grace extended its congratulations to Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and its Hazira Manufacturing Division for completing 25 years of successful operations. The silver jubilee ceremony was arranged at Reliance’s Hazira Manufacturing Division on March 23, 2022.
The UNIPOL® PP technology reactor line was the first of its kind to start up in India on October 7, 1996 and completed 25 years of successful operations on October 7, 2021. From day one, the UNIPOL® PP technology reactor line went on-stream producing prime-grade products. This is truly a testament to the close partnership between the Reliance and Grace team members. Team members from both RIL’s production team and Grace’s commercial team were in attendance.
This award is an inspiration for all and is a token of appreciation for RIL and Grace teammates who have contributed in the excellent performance of the plant.
