Mana. SABIC now supplies over 16 percent of the world's mono ethylene glycol (MEG) needs and exports some 75 percent of its production to Asia. "When 630,000 metric tons come on stream at Jubail United Petrochemical Company (UNITED) by the end of this year, UNITED will be the world's biggest ethylene glycol plant," Al-Mana said. SABIC's current and planned investment for overall production expansions exceeds $8 billion and aims to increase overall annual production from 43 million metric tons in 2004 to more than 60 million metric tons by 2008.
