Shariatmadari, accompanied by a delegation of senior managers and deputies, visited the Sadaf Petrochemical site to assess the project’s progress. He stressed that the project has reached a decisive stage where completion and operation are the only viable options.
Acknowledging certain challenges that have slowed progress, Shariatmadari called for a “precise and actionable strategy” to remove remaining obstacles and accelerate final preparations. He assured full support from the Persian Gulf Holding to ensure timely completion.
“The determination of Persian Gulf Holding is clear — Sadaf Petrochemical must come online this year,” he said. “All barriers must be identified and eliminated, and through continuous, round-the-clock efforts, we will prepare the plant for inauguration before year’s end.”
The Persian Gulf Sadaf Project, currently under construction in Asaluyeh, is set to become the largest elastomer producer in the Middle East and Iran’s first manufacturer of environmentally friendly E-SBR (Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber). Once operational, it will play a significant role in expanding the country’s petrochemical value chain and enhancing domestic production capabilities.
