Jam Petrochemical has explored its capacities to increase its share in the Chinese market and produce high-demand products at the ninth China International Import Expo held in Shanghai. This expo takes place from November 5 to 10, 2026, providing a suitable opportunity to strengthen the catalyst supply chain and expand connections with buyers.
Focus on Catalyst Supply and Sustainable Production
Reza Zaeri, the production manager of the linear low-density polyethylene unit at Jam Petrochemical, highlighted the importance of coordination between production capabilities and a precise understanding of customer needs during the expo. He emphasized that the company's negotiations with catalyst suppliers involve examining the technical and performance specifications of Ziegler–Natta and metallocene catalysts, quality stability, and related business conditions.
Zaeri explained: "Catalysts affect the process efficiency, molecular structure, and final product characteristics in polyethylene production. Therefore, their selection must align with the unit's technology, operational conditions, target product specifications, and cost considerations." He also stated that examining new technology or catalysts does not equate to a definitive decision for industrial use, and the final choice depends on compatibility with the production process and performance evaluation.
Identifying Chinese Market Needs and Producing New Products
The production manager of the linear low-density polyethylene unit at Jam Petrochemical referred to identifying the needs of the Chinese market as another focal point of negotiations, stating: "In meetings with buyers and distributors, while introducing the capacities of Jam's polyethylene products, the specifications required by customers and opportunities for producing high-demand and higher value-added products were discussed."
Zaeri also emphasized that producing new products requires simultaneous consideration of reliable demand, equipment capabilities, and quality control requirements. The information obtained from negotiations can serve as a basis for technical and economic studies for the company.
He stressed that coordination between production and sales departments is crucial, noting that market understanding must translate into usable information for production planning, and direct communication with customers helps identify real sales opportunities.
Zaeri concluded by stating that increasing market share in export markets depends on sustainable quality, consistent supply, and customer trust. Sustainable catalyst supply and the feasibility of producing products according to demand are the main topics of Jam Petrochemical's negotiations at the China Import Expo.
